Propaganda work to raise awareness of prevention and controlCovid-19 epidemicfor all classes of people is being carried out in many forms. Along with the press and media, there is also a system of billboards, slogans, leaflets, social networks and radio programs of wards and communes. With the available advantages, radio programs are really effective not only in the plains and urban areas but also in the mountainous and highland areas.

Every day, at dawn and dusk, many residents of Hong Son Ward (Vinh City) often wait for the ward's radio program to know information about the Covid-19 epidemic situation. For many people, the radio program is really useful and necessary, especially in the context of information sometimes being disturbed.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a resident of Hoang Dieu block, said: “My work is quite busy and I don’t have time to read the newspaper online. Sometimes the information on the internet is inaccurate, so I often listen to the radio program of the ward and the block. I really feel secure and confident because the information here is official, has been selected and updated promptly.”

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Thien - Deputy Head of Hoang Dieu Block, due to the characteristics of their age, the elderly and middle-aged people often update news about the situation.pandemicthrough the ward radio program. At this age, people often spend little time on the Internet, and it is difficult to distinguish between official and unofficial information on the Internet. Therefore, news on the radio program is the number one choice.

“At present, the epidemic is basically under control in the area, so some people are subjective and negligent with prevention and control measures. For example, some crowded business locations sometimes still jostle; restaurants do not maintain the prescribed distance. Therefore, we always pay attention to propaganda work, especially propaganda through radio programs, which is proving to be effective.”

Mr. Hoang Giang Nam - Vice Chairman of Hong Son Ward People's Committee (Vinh City)

For people of the districtsmountainous area, the news in the commune radio program becomes more practical when the number of people using computers and smartphones to access the Internet is not much. Moreover, all aspects of life and the level of education of the people are still limited, which affects the reception of information through other forms.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Son - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cao Son Commune (Anh Son), since the outbreak of Covid-19, the commune has maximized the broadcasting system to propagate and mobilize people to implement epidemic prevention measures. Especially recently, many citizens have returned from the southern provinces where the epidemic is raging.

At the same time, remind people not to be subjective or negligent, and to strictly follow the regulations.“5K” recommendationto limit the risk of spreading the disease, protect the health of yourself, your family and the community.

Meanwhile, Tam Quang commune, the gateway to the mountainous district of Tuong Duong, is also actively using the loudspeaker system to propagate the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic. The commune's bulletin always promptly updates important information such as the development of the epidemic situation, the number of citizens returning from epidemic areas and families with members in quarantine so that people can monitor and voluntarily implement epidemic prevention measures.

Due to the large terrain, many villages are isolated from the commune center, so along with the programradioIn the commune, the Management Board of some villages proactively built their own newsletters to increase propaganda effectiveness.

“Here, people always trust the information provided by commune and village officials, so the radio programs and news are really effective in preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic.”

Mr. Nguyen Hoang Son - Secretary of Tam Quang Commune Party Committee (Tuong Duong)

Huu Kiem Commune (Ky Son) has not yet built its own bulletin, so it relays the radio program of the district's Center for Culture - Sports and Communications. Through the wireless broadcasting system, people in 7/9 villages (except for two core villages) of the commune have grasped important information about the epidemic and strictly implemented the regulations.regulationsDuring this time, people mainly stay at home, limit contact, and help limit the risk of spreading.

Thus, in the context of the unpredictable developments of the Covid-19 epidemic and the increasing level of danger, promoting the effectiveness of the broadcasting system in propaganda work on epidemic prevention and control is an urgent requirement.
