Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has sent a letter which highly commends frontline forces for their ongoing contributions, sacrifices, and efforts in the country’s attempts to fight the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
PM Pham Minh Chinh encourages frontline forces, especially healthcare workers, to work harder to keep the latest COVID-19 outbreak in check.
In his letter, PM Chinh noted that the past 500 days in the battle against COVID-19 has been a major test of Vietnamese spirit of ‘Calamity is man’s true touchstone’ posing a range of challenges to the mutual assistance and patriotism of the whole nation.
Through the leadership of the entire Party and concerted efforts made by the Government, sectors, and people, the COVID-19 fight has brought about a number of initial encouraging results, although there remains many difficulties and challenges ahead.
According to the PM, people understand, appreciate, and show their gratitude to the sacrifices made by frontline forces, especially healthcare workers, who continue to work tirelessly in order to fulfil their duties.
“We will never forget how hard those in protective clothing during the hot summer weather are devoted to their work these days. Many work without having a sleep or a meal, some even do not have an opportunity to meet their relatives before their passing away…” PM Chinh wrote.
He went on to stress that the Party and State respect and highly value the contributions, sacrifices, and efforts made by frontline forces, especially healthcare workers, in combating the spread of the virus, a fight which he anticipates might last longer and develop in an unpredictable manner.
“The Party, State and people are always with you, and hope you will continue to work with a will to serve the compatriots….and to live up to the Party, State and people’ expectations... I believe with greater efforts, stronger resolve, and more drastic measures in place we will certainly win this fight,” the PM concluded.
