In addition, the district needs to have plans to ensure social security and safety, ensure medical work, and prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic; and have plans to arrange isolation rooms for voters.

As for Que Phong district, a locality with 10 early voting stations, the district needs to pay attention to the election work at the early voting stations to gain experience to better direct the election taking place on May 23.
