Present at the One-Stop Department of Vinh City People's Committee on the morning of March 31, we witnessed dozens of people waiting in the office premises. According to Vinh City People's Committee: On this occasion, despite the epidemic, every day we still have to receive and process about 180 people coming to do transactions. The time from 8-9 am is the busiest with over 120 people waiting.

Therefore, since March 27, Vinh City People's Committee has arranged 2 waiting areas in the yard of the City People's Committee, accordingly, each row of chairs is 2-3 meters apart and files are classified to process 10 cases/time; after finishing, another group of people will enter. Citizens enter the waiting room to keep the prescribed distance.

Through research, we learned that there were quite a lot of transactions at the city's one-stop department during this time, mainly related to land. The initial cause was determined to be due to people going to conduct land transactions, mortgages...

Mr. Huy - a citizen of Hung Loc commune said: During this time, there is an epidemic, when I went to the one-stop department to make a transaction, I knew it would be troublesome, but my family needed money and met a customer to sell land, so I transferred a plot of land, the appointment time was set so I had to try to finish it. When I came to make the transaction, I was healthy and normal, so I just needed to wear a mask and wash my hands with sanitizer, so I was probably fine.

Talking to us, Mr. Le Quoc Tuan - Director of the Office of Land Use Rights Registration of Vinh City said: In recent weeks, land transaction records, especially transfers and procedures for registering mortgages for bank loans, have increased, with an average of 60 - 80 records having to be processed each day. These types of records must be processed, but the complicated development of the epidemic situation is also very worrying.

Currently, the Office is trying to serve the people but also hopes that superiors will have instructions to limit large gatherings at the City People's Committee.
