ComradeLe Duc Cuong further emphasized that the fluctuations of voters related to laborers and workers in industrial zones who are allowed to return to their localities, and university and college students who are allowed to return to their hometowns, could affect the work of preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic. Therefore, localities need to come up with specific and timely response plans.

Concluding the meeting, Comrade Cao Thi Hien noted that although Nghi Loc has prepared very well for the election, it must not be negligent or subjective in the upcoming peak days. She emphasized that there are only 4 days left until the election day. To ensure that the election is held successfully, democratically, and in accordance with the law, the locality needs to strengthen inspection, supervision, and grasp the situation. From there, unify awareness and high determination in the actions of the Party Committee, the government and all classes of people to prepare most carefully and fully for the election.
