The program received the support of the Party Committee, the leaders of the units and the enthusiastic response of youth union members and the support of Hoang Ma limited liability company. The branches have produced hand sanitizer by themselves according to the standards of WHO and the Ministry of Health, bought antibacterial masks and sent them to the units on the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control frontline units. Executive Committee of the grassroots delegations sent representatives to 3 isolated areas and presented 1800 bottles of hand sanitizer with a capacity of 150ml / bottle and 1500 antibacterial masks (divided equally among 3 isolation zones).
