All vendors wear masks and keep a safe distance when selling. Ms. Kha Thi Hien, Vice Chairman of Tam Quang Commune People's Committee, said: "Tam Quang has a 21 km border with Laos, so the risk of disease transmission is not small. In this situation, the entire political system has been resolutely involved in preventing the Covid-19 epidemic. During the implementation of Directive No. 16/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister, the commune leaders assigned each village to have 2 cadres on duty to regularly propagate and mobilize. If people in any village violate the law, the cadre in charge of that area must be held responsible. In addition, people's compliance is regularly checked. If there are signs of violations, they will be handled in accordance with the law." |
