Over the last three months, he added, officers and soldiers of the high command have kept a high sense of responsibility to brave difficulties to fulfill epidemic prevention and control tasks, and their efforts have been highly valued by the quarantined persons, including both Vietnamese and foreigners.

Lauding their contributions to the COVID-19 combat, Vice President Thinh attributed the achievements Vietnam has obtained so far to the entire political system’s engagement and all people’s unanimity and support.

She pointed out that the pandemic remains complex and unpredictable, adding in the spirit of “fighting the outbreak is like fighting an enemy,” officers and soldiers of the Hanoi Capital Command need to press on with drastic actions to concurrently ensure security and defense and protect people’s health and lives.
