The province has to date registered 5,700 COVID-19 cases since the fourth waveof outbreaks hit the country on April 27. Over the past days, fewer infections,even zero cases, were reported.

It is working hard to complete the dual goal of pandemic containment, andproduction recovery and socio-economic development.

The locality had suspended the four industrial parks of Quang Chau, Van Trung,Song Khe-Noi Hoang and Quang Chau, to prevent pandemic spread, according to theofficial.

Many FDI firms have donated machines and medical equipment in service of thepandemic combat in the locality, while contributing nearly 10 billion VND(433,453 USD) to the national COVID-19 vaccine fund.

Businesses in the locality allowed only employees testing negative for thecoronavirus to work, offered accommodations and pick-up and drop-off services,and divided workers in groups in an efforts to prevent pandemic spread.
