| Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Hai, residing in Le Dinh village, Son Tien commune, Huong Son district, has been working at Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company for nearly a year. Since yesterday, after the outbreak of the pandemic, she has been transported home by the factory's shuttle bus to help with family matters. Afterwards, she and her colleagues return to work at the factory: "I have a 3-year-old child, but luckily my husband works near home. Therefore, I decided to live and work at the factory. The work is harder, but it provides an income. If I stayed home, I wouldn't have any work," Ms. Hai said. (Photo: Duc Anh) |

| Of the more than 100 workers currently employed at the factory, only 60 have requested to remain at the workplace. The rest have been temporarily laid off because the company has stopped providing transportation for its workers. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Workers who remain are provided with meals by the company. Preventive measures have also been strengthened in communal dining halls through social distancing and shift work. However, ensuring COVID-19 prevention and control in industrial zones remains extremely challenging due to the large workforce, complex geographical areas, and the difficulty in controlling and containing outbreaks.
