The dispatch says the pandemic has rendered many people homeless and jobless, and their movement puts them at risk of contracting and spreading the coronavirus.
PM Chinh asks localities to instruct their police and social agencies to test homeless people for COVID-19 and move them to accommodations in social welfare facilities.
