Soldiers driving on the front line against the epidemic in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - The soldiers driving on the front lines against the epidemic are silently dedicating themselves day and night to serving the Fatherland, helping people fight the epidemic... regardless of hardships and difficulties.

| To prevent the spread of Covid-19, Nghe An has decided to organize a 14-day centralized quarantine for all people entering Nam Can International Border Gate (Ky Son) from 0:00 on March 18. The workload of disease prevention and control, and centralized quarantine for people and foreigners at Nam Can International Border Gate is very large. Therefore, Nghe An province has mobilized many forces to take responsibility. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Nhu Thanh is one of those officers and soldiers. He talked about the process of receiving the mission and the nature of the work of a soldier driving on the front line against the epidemic: "Receiving the reinforcement notice from the Command, we were ready, happily putting on our backpacks to go to the border to receive the mission. For every soldier, serving the Fatherland and serving the people is a great duty." Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Every day, the work of the soldier driving the car to transport people to centralized quarantine officially begins at 8 a.m. - the time when citizens begin to enter Vietnam. The soldier driving the car directly picks up and helps people onto the car; when the car is full, it will be transferred to quarantine areas in Vinh city, then districts and towns.

| After handing over to the quarantine area, the brothers, still in their stuffy epidemic prevention uniforms, ran back to Nam Can, without any time to rest. On average, each day, they had to run continuously for about 600 km. Sometimes, they only had lunch at 2-3 pm, and dinner at 1-2 am. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| After finishing their work, they quietly returned to their rooms, closed the doors and locked themselves in. At mealtime, they went out to the hallway to receive the prepared food tray. Their only joy was to take advantage of their free time to open their phones to check the news, and talk to their wives and children... The soldiers who drove the vehicles accepted the "loneliness" to protect their comrades. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Since March 18, the number of people returning home from Laos through the Nam Can International Border Gate has been over 1,700. This also means that hundreds of anti-epidemic vehicles have been safely driven by soldiers. In the photo: Senior Lieutenant Thanh shows off his dinner with his wife. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| On the phone screen that was livestreaming, Captain Thanh's wife and children asked: "When will dad come back?" - he smiled and encouraged the "rear": "Dad will come back after the epidemic... Dad is a soldier". Photo: Thanh Cuong |
