Meanwhile, nearly 2,000 medical staff in the force have worked at COVID-19 treatment hospitals. The public security force has effectively applied the national database on population to serve pandemic prevention and control.
In addition, the force has well completed its task of protecting national security, ensuring social order and safety, and proactively promulgating plans to protect important political events of the country, especially the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and the People's Councils at all levels for the 2021-2025 term.
It has helped reduce the number of crimes by 8.06 percent compared to 2020, Hue stated.
The top legislator also lauded the ministry’s important contributions to the success of the country’s vaccine strategy.
He requested the police force to improve the efficiency of entry and exit management and control the risk of infections when Vietnam reopens regular international flights expected for the beginning of 2021./.
