Along with the fight against the pandemic, the provincial police of An Giang successfully maintained local security, social order and safety; as a result, the number of criminal offenses in the two provinces reduced.

On behalf of MPS, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung highly appreciated the efforts of the provincial police of An Giang in preventing and controlling the pandemic as well as ensuring security, social order and safety over the past time.

Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung emphasized that the security and disease situation in An Giang was basically controlled. However, the provincial police should be on alert against risks of disease outbreaks when a large number of people are returning home from other provinces.
