However, since the Covid-19 epidemic broke out in the city, especially during the days when the city tightened epidemic prevention and control measures at a higher level than Directive 16, the consumption of balut eggs by people in Hung Hoa commune encountered many difficulties.

Ms. Duong Thi Nhung in Hung Hoa commune shared: "Before the epidemic, eggs were consumed regularly, however, the Covid-19 epidemic has prevented many traders from coming to import goods as before. The characteristic of balut eggs is that if they are past their due date, they will spoil or hatch, so we had to ask for help from organizations, groups, and benefactors to be able to rescue thousands of eggs left in the oven."

In recent days, the Hung Hoa commune government has used the media and social networks to contact units in the city to support the consumption of balut eggs for the people.

Mr. Duong Xuan Tham - Vice Chairman of Hung Hoa Commune People's Committee said: "In just a few days of calling, organizations and unions at the provincial and city levels, wards and communes have joined hands to purchase balut eggs for people, an estimated 22,000 eggs. Trucks qualified to circulate in the city have arrived to import goods and transport them to the ordering units".

It is known that the price of supporting the consumption of balut eggs ranges from 3,000 - 3,300 VND/egg. Currently, the locality continues to supply eggs to households, units, and collective kitchens in need.
