Director of the municipal Department of Industry and Trade Ha Vu Son said a number of firms are still hesitant about returning to work due to difficulties in goods transportation and travelling caused by COVID-19 pandemic.

He added that the department is working with enterprises to speed up the injection of the second shots to workers at businesses, shopping outlets and service sector, assist them in transportation of materials and operating at full capacity in the near future.

It will also coordinate with relevant agencies to suggest competent authorities consider reducing taxes, loan interests and electricity bills for companies.
