Le Ngoc Quyen, Vice Chairman of Cho Moi district’s People’s Committee in Bac Kan province said: “The district has cooperated with sectors and localities hosting the examinations to work out scenarios in response to the pandemic and natural disasters. We asked localities to mobilize forces to deal with landslides, flooding, and torrential rains.”

Dang Ngoc Tu, Rector of Hoang Van Thu High School in Lang Son city, Lang Son province said: “We have designed scenarios to be prepared for any situation. We have worked with medical and other forces to help students at the examination sites.”
