Vietnam plans to aid those financially affected by Covid-19 with a VND26 trillion ($1.13 billion) package.
The package is a follow-up to a previous initiative of VND62 trillion ($2.6 billion) Vietnam issued last year for the poor and businesses hit by Covid-19, Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung told a government meeting Tuesday.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh demanded the labor ministry thoroughly ensures the package could reach those in need, including informal laborers like street vendors.
