(HBO) – In the first months of this year, amidst the complicated developments of COVID-19 pandemic, Mai Chau district has managed to maintain stable socio-economic development thanks to the proactiveness and flexibility in implementing policies as well as the determination and solidarity of the Party organisation, administration and locals in the district.

In the first nine months of 2020, total production value of the district was estimated at nearly 2 trillion VND (86.39 million USD), fulfilling 65.55 percent of the yearly target, and equivalent to 114.27 percent of the same period last year.

Along with directing the implementation of socio-economic development goals, the district has guided sectors and localities to carry out measures to prevent and fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to the drastic engagement of all-level administrations and the coordination of sectors, agencies and organisations from district to grassroots levels, Mai Chau has effectively implemented the "dual targets” of preventing the pandemic and developing socio-economy. Despite the adverse impacts of COVID-19, Mai Chau continues to be a favourite destination for tourists.
