Director of Vina One Steel Production Joint Stock Company - Nguyen Ngoc Quan said: "We thank the employees for sacrificing their housework, working with the company to overcome this difficult time. Although the cost of each test is not small, we determined that we must focus on screening and protecting the workers’s health to maintain production.

Tran shared: “Staying at work, my wife and I feel more secure than staying at the inn. We are fully tested, don't worry about living expenses because we are supported with 3 meals, and also have incentive money for the workers".

Mr. Ly Hong Hy shared: "In the context that the whole province as well as the whole country is "stretching" to fight the epidemic, any individual or organization is no exception in the "fight" of epidemic prevention and control, in which business community. Therefore, we always strive to accompany, comply with epidemic prevention regulations, and coordinate effectively with the authorities to make the epidemic pass soon. At that time, enterprises will continue to feel secure in production and business".

With Binh Minh Plastic Company, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Toan said: “The company always supports and strictly implements the government's regulations on epidemic prevention and control. In fact, drastic measures taken by provincial leaders have gradually contributed to controlling the epidemic. Currently, the company only produces at a "moderate" level to ensure the supply of goods because the actual demand of the market has decreased clearly and the number of employees to stay is limited. We are aware of our responsibility during this time to join hands to fight the epidemic. In addition, the company is very excited when the province has a plan to vaccinate workers, thereby creating a "fence" for workers to work safely.

Maintaining production during the complicated epidemic situation is not a small challenge for any enterprise. Businesses have accepted to sacrifice economic benefits, making efforts with the province to "fight" in this tough "war". Each practical action and action will contribute to creating great strength for the whole province to overcome difficulties and strive to end the Covid-19 pandemic./.
