Vietnam has been a role model in adopting measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 amid limited conditions, with eight doctors for every 10,000 people, according to an article posted on Russian news website zen.yandex.ru.
The Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRCS) Central Committee has sent a letter to call for the community's greater efforts to effectively prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure enough blood for emergencies and medical treatment.
The largest contributors included VinGroup which donated 100 billion VND for purchases of medical equipment and supplies for COVID-19 containment effort; Toyota Vietnam with 10 billion VND; Vietnam Social Security (VSS) with 2 billion VND; and Hung Tuy furniture showroom with 1.5 billion VND.
At this time of hardship, these acts of kindness will contribute to the Party, military and people’s efforts to defeat the pandemic.
We are grateful for the contributions, saying support from organizations and individuals both at home and overseas play a crucial part in Vietnam’s efforts to contain the spread of the virus.
Vietnamese people living abroad have been advised to stay calm, practice social distancing and exercise preventive measures against the COVID-19.
Data shows that about 5.3 million Vietnamese people are residing, working and studying in 130 countries and territories around the globe.
To implement the circular, banks are required to develop scenarios based on their activities, Tu said, adding that they should assess losses of businesses and customers at present and in the short and medium terms, then report to the SBV’s relevant units for prompt support.
Bravo Vietnamese!
The Government continue the strict implementation of this measure to curb infections in the community.
Vietnam is still in control of the situation thanks to the drastic implementation of directions from the Politburo, the Party Central Committee's Secretariat, and the Prime Minister.
The health ministry is coordinating with the Ministry of Information and Communications to introduce an online medical consultation system for Vietnamese embassies abroad and another for Vietnam itself.
It also exchanged experience and cooperation with other nations to support the provision of medical equipment in neighboring countries.
Vietnamese expats have been providing great support for one another during this time, the official continued.
Many Vietnamese communities living in the Europe, America and Oceania have contributed to COVID-19 relief efforts by making anti-bacterial masks and donating medical supplies and food to local governments, hospitals and residents.
Thousands of people in Vietnam are on the frontline in the battle against the virus, and struggle everyday to protect others and keep the situation under control.
