A total of 143 people, including policemen, military officials, health workers and traffic inspectors, have been deployed to watch at 11 checkpoints across different roads in the province, said Colonel Trinh Van Cuong, Deputy Director of the provincial Police Department.

They have also conducted checks on people with suspected signs of smuggling, speculation, illegally hiking prices or producing fake goods to profit from the pandemic.

At the same time, they have kept a close watch on coaches, buses, taxis and other vehicles after a ban of public transportation.

They are responsible for checking body temperatures of people crossing the roads and requesting them to fill out health declaration forms while reporting on any suspected infection to local medical centres./.
