Deputy PM Dam, who is also head of the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control, asked Binh Duong's authorised agencies to coordinate with the gas producer to provide sufficient oxygen for COVID-19 treatment facilities in the province.
He suggested Binh Duong prepare medical resources, hospital beds and oxygen supplies for not only the province itself but also Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam's current largest COVID-19 hotspot.
Right after the pandemic is put under control in the locality, Binh Duong can support Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces and cities in the southeastern region, he added.
