| However, according to records, some places still have too many people coming to take samples; in some places, commune and hamlet officials have not understood the city's policy that each family only sends 1 person to be tested and does not collect money. If there is a second person, the people have to pay the cost themselves, so when the testing started, there was a misunderstanding and people had to collect money. Upon receiving the feedback, Vinh city authorities immediately appeared, explained and corrected. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
