“There are many cases where people riding motorbikes don't have valid SARS-CoV-2 test results. When we refuse to let them through, they plead, some even raise their voices or insult the officers on duty. In these situations, we have to be both gentle and patient to resolve the situation,” said Mr. Trung. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
