Ms. Hoa said she hopes the workers will have a fulfilling Lunar New Year holiday and stay motivated to keep working and help businesses overcome difficulties due to COVID-19.

Trade unions in Hanoi will spend 8.8 million USD on Tet gifts for disadvantaged workers this year.

Officials of Da Nang city and the city’s Fatherland Front visited and gave Tet gifts to Co Tu ethnic minority people and Chinese people living in Hoa Vang district.

A sticky rice cake wrapping program was organized on Monday in Van Canh district, Binh Dinh province. Hundreds of local students participated in the event, where they wrapped sticky rice cakes and played traditional games. Tet gifts were also given to disadvantaged teachers and children orphaned by COVID-19.
