PANO – Amid the rapid spread of COVID-19 in communities in Hai Duong, Quang Ninh province, and Hanoi city, the Central Youth Union, the Vietnam Youth Federation Central Committee (VYFCC), and the Vietnam Young Physicians’ Association (VYPA) coordinated with the CP Charity Fund to hand over 1.5 million medical masks to border provinces and other provinces affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is a meaningful activity in response to a program entitled “Sharing love, joining hands to overcome the pandemic”.
Particularly, the organizers urgently sent 200,000 medical masks to Hai Duong, 100,000 to Quang Ninh, and over 1 million others to border provinces and affected areas to assist the front line medical forces and the border guard, and youth volunteer forces at checkpoints in tackling COVID-19, preventing people from escaping quarantine and crossing the border.

Previously, the Vietnam Youth Federation Central Committee (VYFCC) had a working session with leaders of Dong Thap province, and supported the province with COVID-19 testing equipment.
Furthermore, the VYFCC and the Ministry of Health offered 200,000 medical masks, and other essential equipment to Dong Thap and Can Tho provinces, as well as presented over 3,000 protective suits to Quang Nam and Da Nang provinces.
Moreover, the VYFCC and VYPA worked with the World Health Organization in Vietnam to organize training classes for youth union staff to raise their knowledge about disease prevention and response.
In the upcoming time, they will continue to carry out activities to prevent and control the pandemic. Especially, this year, they expect to coordinate with the World Health Organization to run several programs to provide prevention and control knowledge and skills for youth union staff and people while calling on individuals and groups to donate medical equipment and participate in research involving medicines and vaccines, contributing to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
