Trucks loaded with goods are ready to head for Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong province.

The Military Command of Binh Long town (Binh Phuoc province) coordinated with other units to transport 35 tons of food, farm produce, and other necessaries to assist troops and people in Binh Duong province and Ho Chi Minh City in the fight against COVID-19.

These goods were contributed by people from all walks of life in Binh Long town in a hope that the recipients could control the pandemic soon.

The same day, the standing board of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee’s Ho Chi Minh City’s chapter received medical supplies, including oxygen generators and drugs to treat COVID-19 patients, from many donors. The supplies will be handed over to the people’s committees of 21 districts and Thu Duc city to help improve treatment quality for COVID-19 patients and reduce COVID-19 related deaths.

Also, more than 500 troops from the Binh Phuoc Provincial Military Command and other military units supported farmers in five districts of the province to harvest farm produce because it was the peak time of harvesting in these localities.
