Accordingly, the province recorded some 800 cases and some 60,000 people with close contacts with the infected. The pandemic situations in Dinh Tram and Quang Chau industrial parks remained complicated.

The province is running 97 concentrated quarantine facilities, 10 treatment centers, 2 field hospitals and will open another field hospital soon. Over 900 medical checkpoints are operational.

The provincial police force also tries its best to ensure security and safety for the election while strictly applying COVID prevention regulations at polling stations. Some 1,000 police officers and soldiers are expected to cast their votes at the headquarters of the provincial police department.

Due to complicated developments in the local COVID situation, the provincial police halted the issuance of chip-based ID cards. The provincial police have completed over 80% of the applications for  new ID cards.

The Mobile Police Command has so far sent 476 mobile police officers and soldiers to assist the local police in Bac Giang to join local forces in 200 checkpoints and 4 patrol teams.

In addition to financial and medical supports to the two provinces, the MPS also deployed 500 mobile police officers and soldiers to assist the provincial police of Bac Giang.
