Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said the city has appealed to the entire political system and people to engage in the efforts, with a view to expanding the “green zone” in its COVID-19 map.

It is also stepping up sample collection and enhancing the testing capacity so as to find and isolate infection cases from the community early.
