The city is performing the third financial package with a total amount of around VND7,300 billion (US$320 million) for around 7.3 million people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Up to now, the city districts and Thu Duc City have approved the lists for 6.3 million needy people. However, the localities have just sent financial support for over 5.2 million residents.
The implementation process has been facing obstacles and slowly due to errors in the software. Currently, the Quang Trung Software Center has overcome the problem which is now being stable.
The localities guaranteed to spend the support package in accordance with the HCMC’s regulations. The HCMC Department of Labor, Invalid and Social Affairs checked, inspected and supervised the support process and will provide the information for press agencies, added Mr. Lam.
