Dak Nong raises awareness about Covid-19 among ethnic groups
Military officers in Dak Nong Province have translated information about the Covid-19 epidemic to the language of the ethnic M'Nong group to raise local awareness.
Since the start of the outbreak, the border guards have worked with local authorities to raise public awareness by broadcasting the news in M'Nong language. In the past week, the Thuan An border gate team often go to places with large crowds like the markets and schools to broadcast the news.
"We broadcast the news in both Vietnamese and M'Nong language. We also handout leaflets with various pictures to make it easier to understand," said Lieutenant Colonel Doan Van Tien from Thuan An Border Gate. "We also go to every house to raise awareness to help people understand more about the situation and stay calm."
Y Tanh, an elderly in Sa Pa Village, said, "Not everyone knows Vietnamese. Old people can't go to school to study anymore. We all think that what the border guards are doing is really meaningful."
According to Tien, in the past month, many ethnic people have ceased large crowd gatherings and have followed the advice thanks to all promotion measures. Only when there is an urgent need have they crossed the border to see family members.
