Security forces help contain COVID-19 in HCM City
VOV -
(VOVWORLD) - Both military and public security forces have been mobilised to assist Ho Chi Minh City in its ongoing fight against COVID-19.
 More than 1,200 officers and soldiers are deployed to Thu Duc City on August 23 to assist in COVID-19 containment efforts. |
 Leaders of Thu Duc City present gifts to military forces before they begin their period of duty. |
 The two forces have been allocated to various localities and checkpoints to perform tasks. |
 Relevant forces are mobilised to ensure compliance with social distancing measures over the next 14 days due to the southern city further tightening COVID-19 restrictions starting from August 23, with local people required to "stay where they are". |
 Their task involves reminding locals of the need to follow all COVID-19 control measures. |
 On-duty officers keep guard at a checkpoint. |
 They will join up with other forces in the southern city as they work around the clock in the hope of bringing the COVID-19 situation under control by September 15. |
