(Baonghean.vn) - When many peaceful rural areas of Dien Chau district had Covid-19 cases, the forces unanimously joined in, "sharing the burden" with the army and people of Dien Chau to focus on fighting the epidemic.

In recent days, people in Nghe An province have felt more confident when seeing a convoy of special vehicles bearing the golden words "Military Zone 4 Chemistry" standing out against the blue sky, present on all routes to disinfect areas infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

On the evening of June 16, 2021, a convoy of 3 vehicles had just spent the night spraying disinfectant at the Tropical Disease Center, Nghe An General Hospital, where Covid-19 patients are treated. The next morning, on National Highway 46, following the Vinh City bypass to Dien Chau, we encountered "special warriors" rolling towards the epicenter.

Immediately upon arriving in Dien Chau, under the direct command of Colonel Vuong Dinh Quang, Chief of Chemical Affairs of Military Region 4, officers and soldiers of Chemical Battalion 38 and 4 special vehicles sprayed disinfectants and disinfected sidewalks, roads, and public buildings with Cloramin-B chemicals in 7 communes related to Covid-19 positive patients, including Dien Lien, Dien Kim, Dien Tan, Dien Thinh, Dien Trung, Minh Chau, and Dien Cat. With the spirit of "urgency, responsibility, thoughtfulness, and efficiency", in the afternoon and evening of June 17, 2021, the Chemical Forces of Military Region 4 completed the disinfection of 7 communes and the headquarters of the District Party Committee, People's Committee, Military Command, District Police, and several other key locations.

We met Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Minh Dao, Commander of Dien Chau District Military Command, when he had just returned from a Steering Committee meeting.Covid-19 preventionof the district. Immediately, all the district's determined instructions to fight the epidemic related to the armed forces were quickly deployed by him. 100% of the military and militia forces were mobilized to perform tasks at blockade posts, quarantine areas were activated, ready to receive F1, F2 cases...

Coming to the "hot spots" in the district, people really admire the spirit of overcoming difficulties to fight the epidemic of the soldiers, militia, and police at the blockade points as well as the force taking samples for testing. During the day, the sun was scorching, and in the evening it temporarily cooled down, but the hot feeling was still present. At this time, officers and soldiers took turns bathing and washing, then quickly ate the boxed lunches that the "feeders" had just brought or the loaves of bread and milk boxes donated by the people, to change shifts for their teammates.

Witnessing the hardships of the soldiers, when the anti-epidemic checkpoint was set up near their house, from tables, chairs to any other household items that could help the soldiers, Ngo Thu Thuy and her husband, who live near the Dien Lien Commune Health Station, were all willing.

Ms. Ngo Thu Thuy expressed: “I feel sorry for the soldiers, they have to work hard in all kinds of ways. We, the people, work all day, even though we are tired, but after dinner we can sleep soundly, but the soldiers don’t even have a delicious meal in their mouths. Not only are they tired all day, but at night they have to share the night shift, patrolling the whole village. Therefore, if they lack anything, my family and the people will help them with all our heart.”


Participating in sampling in Dien Chau were 53 officers, lecturers, volunteer students, Hoang Mai Town Medical Center, Quynh Luu District Medical Center, Dien Chau District Medical Center,... and especially 52 officers and medical staff after completing the task of supporting Ha Tinh province continued to be mobilized to Dien Chau district to participate in the fight against the epidemic.

The biggest burden and pressure that the anti-epidemic force faces is probably having to complete the collection of SARS-CoV-2 virus testing samples on the night of June 16, 2021 for more than 6,000 F1 cases of patient 11,634. In response to that request, the functional forces of Nghe An province mobilized 131 doctors, medical staff, and military medical staff of the District Military Command to collect samples for testing, especially the return of 52 "white-shirt" soldiers from Nghe An General Friendship Hospital and Nghe An Provincial Center for Disease Control who have just reinforced the "front" against the epidemic in Ha Tinh. In the face of the outbreak in their homeland, without anyone telling them, they all volunteered to continue to go to the front line to "share the fire" with their colleagues inDien Chau. Even though they were exhausted at times, the "enemy" Covid-19 could not defeat their will.

On June 17, 2021, the image of female medical worker Dieu Hang, one of 52 doctors and nurses returning from Ha Tinh, volunteering to go to Dien Chau, taking test samples until she was exhausted, her protective suit was quickly opened by everyone so she could take a little air and drink some water, shared by the social network community, truly touched millions of hearts. Everyone expressed admiration for the will of that small person. She lost several pounds in just one week of "fighting" in the epidemic center.

Facebook account “Minh Luu Van” posted two photos of Ms. Hang before and after going to fight the epidemic with the article “I really appreciate the people on the front line against Covid-19” with words of admiration: “For a whole week supporting Ha Tinh, every day Dieu Hang and her colleagues worked hard from morning to night to collect test samples. Yesterday, when withdrawing from Ha Tinh to support Dien Chau, Hang “collapsed” due to exhaustion… However, Hang only asked to rest for a bit, then returned to support the people of Dien Chau and did not leave the front line. Thank you and wish you good health”.

We looked at it for a long time before realizing that the two girls in the two photos were the same. Before Dieu Hang was young, beautiful, and fresh, she is even more beautiful now. Even though she lost weight, didn't wear makeup, didn't wear fashionable clothes or handbags, she is more beautiful in the hearts of us, her colleagues, friends, and the people. You are so beautiful, "warrior" of the medical sector on the front line against the epidemic.

With the joint efforts and consensus of all sectors and people, Dien Chau will certainly defeat the Covid-19 pandemic.
