(Baonghean.vn) - While most people are staying at home following social distancing requirements to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, there are still many people quietly working, some because of job requirements, some because of making a living...

In mid-April, it often rains in Vinh city at night. However, Ms. Tran Thi Yen - a worker of Nghe An Urban Environment and Construction Joint Stock Company still prepares to go out to collect and gather garbage. Ms. Yen is assigned to carry out the task on Le Loi street, the work starts from 5 pm every day until 2 am the next day. Photo taken on Le Loi street at 10 pm on April 12. Photo: Duc Anh

According to Ms. Yen, this is a daily job, regardless of rain or shine.
