HCM CITY — Many workers in neighboring provinces have returned to HCM City after the city lifted lockdown measures.

Mai Ngọc Thuần, deputy chairman of of Bình Tân District Labour Confederation, told Sài Gòn Giải Phóng (Liberated Sài Gòn) newspaper that most of the companies and factories in the district had returned to production and the number of workers returning to work had risen.

According to the district's review, about 80 per cent of workers have returned to companies and factories in the district.

PouYuen Company in Bình Tân District still has about 16,000 employees living in the western provinces who have not come back due to epidemic prevention regulations.

The company expects by the end of October about 13,000 - 14,000 employees in Long An will return to the city.

Nguyễn Văn Lâm, deputy director of the HCM City Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said labourers returning to their hometowns had received messages inviting them to return to the city. Working conditions must meet safety criteria in production, testing and vaccination.

Earlier this month, over 143,000 workers returned to HCM City for work. VNS
