Speaking at the reception ceremony on the afternoon of March 30, comrade Vo Thi Minh Sinh - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Chairman of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee shared the difficulties of the forces on the front line against the epidemic, especially in concentrated quarantine locations. Currently, in addition to the lack of medical equipment such as masks and protective glasses, the care and service of the forces are also having to overcome themselves, because in the quarantine areas there are many people of many ages, including pregnant women and newborns, so the care requirements are also different.
