The majority of voters expressed that since the beginning of 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to develop in a complicated manner, spreading rapidly and dangerously, but with high political determination, efforts of all levels, sectors, the entire political system, the business community and the entire population, the situation has been initially contained and basically controlled. That demonstrates the deep trust of cadres, party members, people and voters in the Party, the State and the regime.

Voters realize that, at this very moment, we continue to witness a united Vietnam, joining hands and making efforts to overcome all difficulties. With the spirit of "fighting the epidemic like fighting the enemy", the Party, the Government, the National Assembly, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee have quickly called on the people to unite, create collective strength, and be determined to fight the epidemic together.

Voters believe that cadres at all levels need to continue to uphold their sense of responsibility to the Party and the people, practice what they preach, and help the people in a timely manner; and take strict measures to deal with cadres who are used to operating in an administrative manner, passively waiting for superiors, shouting slogans without specific solutions. At the same time, encourage and commend cadres and localities that have proactively taken action to overcome and limit losses. This is also an opportunity to screen cadres at all levels, build a cadre that is adaptive and active.

Voters said that all levels need to develop proactive response scenarios to the Covid-19 epidemic, avoiding the situation where the epidemic occurs before finding solutions; always pay attention to the issue of socio-economic development to ensure both fighting the epidemic and boosting production, implementing many fundamental solutions to ensure people's lives are guaranteed with the spirit of leaving no one behind. People need to strictly and voluntarily comply with all regulations on disease prevention and control and need to promote the people's supervisory role in disease prevention and control work.

In addition, voters hope that in addition to mobilizing all resources to buy Covid-19 vaccines, it is necessary to speed up the progress of domestic vaccine production and consult with domestic and foreign medical and scientific experts. Voters recommend that the National Assembly further strengthen supreme supervision, especially the purchase of vaccines and medical supplies to prevent and fight epidemics...

Continue to strengthen the prevention and fight against corruption and negativity

Voters expressed their agreement with the recent decision of the Politburo to add the function and task of preventing and combating negativity to the Steering Committee. The work of preventing and combating corruption must be closely linked and synchronized with the work of preventing and combating negativity, especially the fight against degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle. In particular, in the 13th Party Central Committee Conference, the Central Committee continued to promote Party building and rectification, preventing and repelling degradation in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party.

Voters suggested continuing to promote the work of preventing and combating corruption and negativity and hoped that from the perspective of the Party and the National Assembly, it would be institutionalized into legal regulations on acts of moral degradation, lifestyle, and character; promulgate, supplement, amend, and perfect the contents of the law on preventing and combating corruption and negativity. At the same time, voters said that there should be a mechanism to protect and reward those who report corruption and negativity.

At the conference, voters raised a number of issues of concern such as: continuing to innovate organization and operation, improving the quality of law-making, deciding on important national issues and providing supreme supervision; and contributing opinions to the draft Law on Emulation and Commendation.

Voters want to achieve the dual goal of both economic and social development and Covid-19 prevention and control; economic development needs to pay attention to environmental protection. The National Assembly needs to do a good job of supervising the implementation of the Government's support packages, especially directing localities to speed up the implementation of policies to support workers and employers facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Responding to some voters' opinions and recommendations within his authority, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Ha Minh Hai said that Hanoi has proactively implemented anti-epidemic measures with the motto of protecting people's health and safety first and foremost. The city has focused on organizing zoning, isolation, and rapid tracing; narrow blockade, and strict management. Up to now, the whole city has organized more than 7.7 million Covid-19 vaccine injections for people over 18 years old with the first injection rate reaching over 98%, the second injection reaching nearly 32% of people of vaccination age...
