Clip expresses gratitude toward doctors in COVID-19 fight A video clip comprising a series of paintings by children on doctors, who are called intimately as white blouse warriors during the COVID-19 fight, has been published recently by the Ministry of Health. The paintings by child artists are part of a campaign initiated by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). They depict doctors as white-blouse soldiers who have relentlessly fought against the pandemic, through which children’s gratitude toward health workers is expressed. The video also conveys a message of solidarity in the fight against COVID-19./. 110 foreign experts to be isolated for COVID-19 combat The administration of Quang Ngai province, central Vietnam, has outlined plans to put a total of 110 foreign experts into isolation in concentrated places in an effort to prevent the potential spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The foreign experts are scheduled to pass though Huu Nghi international border gate in the northern province of Lang Son and then travel to Quang Ngai to work for Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Integrated Complex. The provincial administration requested relevant agencies to create favourable condition for the experts during their travel and quarantine back in Quang Ngai. At present, Quang Ngai is yet to record any positive COVID-19 cases this year, although local authorities have advised relevant agencies to closely control people entering from COVID-19 hotspots in the fight against the virus. Cases that violate the Health Ministry’s COVID-19 prevention and control measures will be punished, whilst local medical workers will take samples for testing of relevant cases, especially foreigners currently working in Quang Ngai.

Tree-planting in Phu Yen lays roots for nationwide goal
PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc at the tree-planting launch ceremony in Phu Yen Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc kicked off the spring launch ceremony of the tree-planting festival in Tuy Hoa city of Phu Yen on February 20. The festival is in line with the prime minister’s plan for Vietnam to plant one billion trees in total by 2025. “The government and I do believe that Phu Yen will be one of the localities taking the lead in implementing the plan,” the prime minister said. Phu Yen has set a target that over the next five years, 15 million trees will be planted, including 12 million in different areas and three million as protection forests which can mitigate or prevent the impact of natural hazards. On average, each year will see three million trees planted. In addition, forest management boards, economic organisations, households, and individuals will also plant about 6,000 forest trees, making contributions to protecting the environment, raising forest coverage, and further beautifying the natural landscapes. This will help make Phu Yen a greener and healthier living environment in its great efforts to achieve sustainable development. Vietjet has also joined Phu Yen’s tree plantation scheme. “Participating in the programme of planting 15 million trees in Phu Yen, responding to Prime Minister Phuc’s initiative to plant one billion trees is Vietjet’s latest action in a series of activities to spread the message of flying green with Vietjet, protecting the environment, and protecting Earth for millions of our customers,” said Vietjet managing director Dinh Viet Phuong. Like many other localities nationwide, Phu Yen has over the past years been attaching great importance to forest plantation and environmental protection. Right after the lunar new year begins, the province always holds a ceremony to kick off tree plantation, with the participation of almost all locals. In the 2016-2020 period, the province planted more than 32,000 hectares of forests, with an …
