(HBO) – In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, apart from precautionary measures, localities in Hoa Binh province have focused on communication activities to make locals vigilant against the epidemic. Local radio and television channels have played an active role in popularising relevant information.

Dinh Hoai
Khoa, an official in charge of cultural affairs in My Hoa commune, Tan Lac
district, broadcasts information on COVID-19 prevention and control through the
communal radio system daily.
Officials
in charge of cultural affairs in Khoan Du commune, Lac Thuy district, have
regularly updated local residents on the latest information and instructions
regarding the disease combat through radio systems of the commune and
residential areas.
Loudspeakers
in 10 towns and communes, and 116 hamlets and residential areas across Lac Thuy
district have been optimised over the past days.
Mai
Chau district’s centre of culture, sports and information has instructed
localities to intensify the communication work through their radio channels.
Kha
Thanh Tung, director of the centre, said Mai Chau is at high risk of COVID-19
as the district has welcomed many domestic and foreign visitors to its
attractive tourist destinations.
Therefore,
the district People’s Committee has ordered the centre to extend broadcast time
and increase the amount of news regarding the combat through the loudspeakers
of the district, as well as its 116 towns and communes, and 122 hamlets and
residential areas, while handing out leaflets to people and putting up posters
at public places.
According
to Vuc Duc Truong, Deputy Director of Tan Lac district’s centre of culture,
sports and information, the local radio system has devoted much time covering the
pandemic combat in the most rapid and accurate way.
Currently,
all of the 159 residential areas in 16 towns and communes in Tan Lac have been
equipped with loudspeakers.
With
the spirit of "fighting the epidemic like fighting the enemy,” localities in
Hoa Binh have employed various measures and mobilised the involvement of the
entire political system in this regard. Local radio channels have played an
active role, helping to raise public awareness of the disease./.
