(HBO) – Youngsters in Hoa Binh have voluntarily joined COVID-19 prevention and control activities and implemented many effective models to support pandemic-hit residents.

Minh Communist Youth Union in Luong Son district has launched the model of
"voluntary youth teams” involving 135 volunteers to support COVID-19
vaccination activities.
Bui Thi Bich Huong, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU)
Committee of Huu Nghi ward in Hoa Binh city, said that as the number of
COVID-19 cases has surged in the locality, the union has coordinated with the
ward’s Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and relevant agencies to implement
the model of sorting waste originated from COVID-19 patients in families. The
union has delivered 300 bins recycled from paint cans to families with COVID-19
patients and instruct them to sort waste in line with the Ministry of Health’s
guidance.
Bui Anh Xung, Secretary of the HCYU Committee of Luong Son district said that
zero-dong goods pavilions have been one of the effective models to support
pandemic-hit locals. Meanwhile, many meals have been provided for people
undertaking quarantine, he said.
Meanwhile, Hoang Duc Minh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial HCYU Committee,
said that along with actively engaging in popularising COVID-19 prevention and
control measures, the union has called for support to the pandemic fight from
local units and residents. Last year, the provincial HCYU members engaged in
preparing 5,273 meals and presented more than 300 others to the needy, while
donating 3,000 face masks, water and instant noodles and medical supplies to
COVID-19 checkpoints and quarantine sites, while offering 55 million VND worth
of necessities to Ho Chi Minh City.
