In the context of the Covid-19 epidemic, which is significantly affecting the lives of the people, following the Prime Minister's direction "In order that no one will be left behind", Binh Duong has been taking measures to help support for people who are struggling with disease. On the principle of supporting those who have reduced income, lost their jobs, not guaranteed the minimum living standards caused by epidemics, Binh Duong is actively reviewing and allocating resources to support affected people by this pandemic.

Humanistic decisions of the Party and State
According to the draft resolution to support people facing difficulties due to the Government's Covid-19 pandemic, there are 6 groups of subjects that have a deep reduction in income, loss, underemployment, and do not guarantee the minimum living standard will be budgeted. The State supports 3 months, from April to 6-2020. Accordingly, the social security support package to overcome the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic is worth more than VND 61,500 billion. The principle of support is to focus on subjects who have reduced income and lost jobs, which do not guarantee the minimum living standards due to the impact of epidemics. The Prime Minister assigned the relevant ministries and branches, especially the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs) to carefully prepare and guide localities and related agencies to quickly implement, ensure democracy, publicity, transparency and convenience for people to know about social security support packages. Unions,
Discussing this support package, Mr. Le Minh Quoc Cuong, Director of Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, said: “The support package is a demonstration of the nature of our State, which is to take care of the people and for the people. This is a society of solidarity, care and love for one another, both determination and unanimity to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic and socio-economic development. Supporting 6 groups of people who are deeply affected by income, lost, underemployed, do not ensure minimum living standards, in my opinion, is a humane decision, showing the interest of the Party and the State ”.
According to a draft Government resolution to support people facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Binh Duong has millions of people eligible for support from the social security package. The Department has proposed functional agencies to develop specific guidelines for easy implementation by branches and localities. With assigned responsibilities, the department will conduct surveys, identify the right people, deploy and support the right people and the right people. In addition to this support package, from the beginning of 2020 to now, despite being affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, all levels, sectors and localities in the province still give full and timely attention to the poor and people. with difficult circumstances, social protection beneficiaries. Earlier, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs has also instructed businesses to pay wages to stop working and resolve the regime for workers related to the Covid-19 epidemic under the guidance of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs.
Agreeing with the above viewpoint, Mr. Pham Van Bay, Vice Chairman of Da An People's Committee analyzed: “Binh Duong no longer has poor and near-poor households according to the criteria of the Central. It is not difficult to identify people with meritorious services, poor and near-poor households, and unemployed laborers with labor contracts. Meanwhile, the group of labor without labor contracts (freelance) has lost their jobs and stopped working at present, but it is difficult to delineate it for accuracy. Therefore, if there is a lack of specific guidance and criteria for the group of self-employed people, the support resources are easy to spread, the effectiveness is not high.
Excited beneficiaries
In the face of information from the Government, the Social Security Support Package will be prioritized, giving priority to people who lose their jobs, reduce jobs, the business community, and employees who are happy and expect this support package to be implemented soon. Ms. Nguyen Thi Be, a poor household, Dong Hoa ward (Da An city) shared: “As one of the poor households affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, I am very excited to receive information supported by the Government. support. This support helps my family to overcome the epidemic season's difficulties when not having a job ”. From the perspective of the employee, Ms. Phan Thi Anh, a worker of Puku Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Dong An Industrial Park), is excited that the support policies will be a life buoy to help workers lose their jobs. do pass difficult times. I wonder the criteria to identify the type of self-employed worker who loses his job, relaxes because of this phenomenon very much.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ly Ngoc Minh, General Director of Minh Long 1 Co., Ltd., said: “Facing the complicated situation of Covid-19 disease, some businesses faced difficulties and provided social security packages. Unprecedented Association of the Government creates momentum for jobless people to overcome difficulties. Along with the humanist policies of the Party, the State, businesses are also working out plans to support workers, calculating and minimizing the elimination of labor recovery.
