- Accordingly, depending on actual situation, the units and localities can organize and integrate the sports activities scheduled for March with the Olympic Running Day flexibly while ensuring main content and activities. After the running session, the units and localities can organize more sports activities such cross-country, morning exercise, tug of war, stick pushing, traditional sports, and movement games, etc. to attract the participant of many people. 
 
- Each district, town and city can choose a typical locality to organize the activities at district scale or inter-commune scale. The province set a target of 85% of the commune-level administrative units organizing the activities; at least 10% of the population of each commune, ward and town taking part in the physical exercise and sports activities and Olympic Running Day, which was planned to be simultaneously organized on March 27.
 
- What matters should the units and localities pay attention to in order to organize the aforementioned activities effectively and safely in accordance with COVID-19 prevention and control?
  
- The units and localities need to step up propaganda through newspapers, television and radio station, websites, banners, panels, etc. to raise people’s awareness about the effects of physical exercise and sports practice on improving health, fitness and stature of Vietnamese people. Currently, COVID-19 is still complicated. Therefore, in order to ensure safe for people, all the people participating in the physical exercise and sports activities and Olympic Running Day have to have enough prescribed shots of COVID-19 vaccines (at least 2 shots or have a PC- COVID green card) and have to obey “5K” motto of the Ministry of Health. 
 
- Thank you for your answers!
