According to Colonel Nguyen Thanh Phong, Political Chief of the command, after citizens expressed their need to return to their hometowns, local authorities made a list and encouraged youths to continue to stay in the city to participate in production and in economic recovery and development.

The elderly, children, individuals who have lost their ability to work, visitors who got stranded in the city due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and mostly residents in the Southwestern provinces and cities, were among those who received free assistance to return to their hometowns this time.

Before coming home, the people had their samples taken for COVID-19 testing and received gifts from local leaders.

The units mobilized 25 buses, sponsored by Phuong Trang Group, to help the people return home safely, strictly observing COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
