Regarding the Vietnamese government’s relief package, the chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee stressed that his organization will supervise the disbursement from the central to local levels so that US$2.7 billion will reach the right people in the fastest manner.

It requires Vietnam to make more efforts to overcome the pandemic and take stronger preventive measures to protect people’s health, Man said.
He pledged that all the donations will be directly allocated to the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Public Security to help quarantine centers and hospitals purchase medical equipment and supplies.
