Troops and vehicles are ready to carry out the disinfection mission

Specifically, dozens of troops, 15 specialized vehicles, and modern multipurpose disinfection vehicles participated in the disinfection task. They disinfected roads and residential areas in wards of the district, especially Nguyen Van Cong street in ward 3 with “Hoi thanh truyen giao Phuc Hung” (Revival Ekklesia Mission) where a cluster of COVID-19 infections was discovered.

Together with troops from the two aforementioned units, local chemical personnel from the militia force also disinfected alleys in the district while instructing locals on how to use chemicals and make solutions so they have the ability to decontaminate and disinfect their houses on their own.
