There is a team of 15 "warriors" working like that throughout the Lunar New Year of Nham Dan. They belong to Nghe An Urban Environment and Construction Joint Stock Company.

| We met them on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Vinh City. They included Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung - Head of Inspection Department and Dao Cong Lan - a "warrior" collecting waste from Covid-19 patients quarantined at home. To carry out this dangerous task, Mr. Lan wore a completely covered protective suit, except for his eyes. Photo: Nhat Lan |

| Mr. Dao Cong Lan travels to families with Covid-19 patients by motorbike. On the motorbike, he carries specialized items such as two covered trash cans, an antibacterial spray bottle, tongs, etc. There is also a large bag containing soft rubber gloves, which he explains "must change into new gloves after receiving trash from a family to ensure safety against the Covid-19 epidemic".

| Immediately after receiving information from Head of Department Nguyen Tien Dung, "warrior" Lan got in the car to carry out the mission. |
 |
| By the night of December 28, Vinh City had nearly 100 people with Covid-19 who were self-isolating at home. Among them, there was one person living in a small alley on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street. Upon arrival, Dao Cong Lan called the family to take out the garbage according to the phone number on the sign hanging in front of the gate. Photo: Nhat Lan |

| Before moving to another location, Dao Cong Lan thoroughly sprayed disinfectant on two trash cans and the vehicle. He said: "I go through many streets, I have to handle it carefully, otherwise it can spread germs to people." Photo: Nhat Lan |

| According to Dao Cong Lan, the "warrior" team was established since Nghe An province allowed people with mild Covid-19 to be quarantined at home. The Company arranged for these 15 "warriors" to be quarantined at the unit's dormitory. All their activities are fully arranged on site so that they can safely carry out their tasks during the Tet holidays. In the photo: After collecting garbage from families with people self-quarantining, Dao Cong Lan transfers the garbage to a fixed point on the 72m road. Here, a specialized vehicle will come to pick up the garbage and transfer it to the treatment and burial point according to regulations. Photo: Nguyen Tien Dung |

| Around 10pm, Lan transfers the trash to a specialized truck. Photo: Nguyen Tien Dung |
 |
| After the garbage was put into the specialized truck, Dao Cong Lan once again thoroughly sprayed disinfectant on the specialized truck and the tools to complete his work to end a working day. “I am from Do Luong, not married yet. Working through Tet like this makes me miss home, miss the warm atmosphere with my family. But it is my duty. There is nothing to worry about…” – Lan said when saying goodbye.
