Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tung, General Director of Vina T&T Company, said that after nearly 10 days of the Tet holiday, the number of orders accumulated, so the company is now focusing on meeting the demand, along with ensuring strict anti-diseasemeasures.

In addition, the company also processes seafood rice cakes, fish balls and dumplings for the domestic market.

Accordingly, the company will be opening on the 9th and start working again from January 11. According to Mr. Liem, in previous years, about 80-90% of workers and employees of the company returned to their hometown for the Tet holiday, but this year, according to the management board, the number of employees returning home was only about 50%. To ensure the prevention of the pandemic, the company has set up plans to review workers and employees returning home for Tet, coordinating with local authorities to quarantine those returning from affectedlocations. Accordingly, it is expected that by the end of January, the company will be able to operate again at 100% capacity.

The company also reserves about 15-20% more capacity to ensure that production progress is met in the event of Covid-19 outbreaks. Currently, the products of Lam Viet include furniture, kitchen cabinets, exports are concentrated in three main markets – Canada (30%), the US (20%) and the UK (40%). In 2020, the disease situation in these markets has caused significant losses for the company. But at the end of the year, Lam Viet still tries to reward workers and employees with about two months' salary to motivate and retain employees after Tet.
