Establish checkpoints

However, this is a major challenge for the province in disease prevention and control, especially in the quarantine for people on entry and prevention of illegal entry.

The province has strengthened inspection and control; established 136 checkpoints with more than 900 officers and soldiers from the police, military, border guard, and regularly patrolled the area. It has also awarded any citizens providing information about illegal entry.
Provinces adjacent to the southwestern border such as Long An, Kien Giang, Dong Thap have also strengthened the establishment of checkpoints to stop the spread of the disease in the community. As a hotspot for illegal entry and cross-border smuggling, competent forces of An Giang provinces have strictly controlled the border.
According to the report of the People's Committee of An Giang province, the province assigned more than 200 teams, with more than 1,500 officers and soldiers of the Border Guard, Police, Military, Customs, Quarantine, Militia and Self-Defense Forces to prevent people illegally entering and exiting across the border and control the Covid-19 pandemic.
An Giang province also maintains forces ready to fight and prevent the pandemic; requires 100% non-commissioned officers and soldiers strictly comply with regulations on duty; closely controls at border gates, border crossings, trails, canals across the border, preventing people who enter illegally and escape from quarantine.
