According to the Government Office’s announcement of the PM’s conclusion, despite continuous social distancing for a long time, both Kien Giang and Tien Giang have yet to thoroughly control the pandemic.
PM Chinh requested the provinces to show stronger determination and make greater efforts to curb the coronavirus as soon as possible, by September 30 at the latest, so as not to prolong social distancing on a large scale.
Their People’s Committees have to review and submit detailed proposals on demand for assistance so that the Government’s special working team and relevant ministries can provide maximum support.
