Architect Khieu Huu Nghia in Hanoi and his associates have successfully built a room for collecting COVID-19 samples, in a bid to help health workers in Bac Giang deal with extreme heat and ensure their health conditions.
If extreme heat continues in the central region until the end of the dry season, about 65,500ha of rice and annual crops will suffer from drought and water scarcity, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The Malaysian Ministry of Education has ordered additional 119 schools in the states of Pahang and Kelantan to close on April 20-21 due to an extreme heat wave.
