Facing complicated spreading of the Covid-19 epidemic, implementing Directive No. 05/CT-TTg dated January 28, 2021 of the Prime Minister on urgent solutions to prevent Covid-19, Vietnam Post has guided units in the system to develop payment plans to ensure safety payment against the epidemic, ensuring social security. This also helps beneficiaries receive pensions, social insurance benefits and allowances timely, meeting the needs of spending during the Lunar New Year.

Whereby, Vietnam Post has cooperated closely with the Vietnam Social Insurance industry, the Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs sector and localities to implement plans to pay pensions, social insurance benefits, and preferential subsidies for people with meritorious services and social protection, especially in the provinces suffering from the Covid-19 epidemic, such as Hai Duong, Quang Ninh; even to organize payment in the blocked localities.

Specifically, before Tet Vietnam Post has focused on securely paying nearly 28,000 billion dong of pension and social insurance allowances of January and February for beneficiaries in 63 provinces and cities nationwide. At the same time, besides paying the pension, the local social insurance agencies also transferred money and Tet gifts from the People's Committees of provinces and cities to pensioners.

In the Covid-19 areas, the payment of pensions and social insurance benefits is also promptly implemented and has strictly complied with epidemic prevention regulations. The “at door” payment plan has been implemented, ensuring compliance with the epidemic developments in each locality.

According to the Vietnam Post, the exploitation and transportation of postal and press in the pre-Tet period almost doubled compared to the same period last year. Due to the active arrangement of more workers and reasonable shift organization, all postal articles and newspapers were promptly saved.

Particularly for the field of publishing New Year newspapers and magazines, Vietnam Post organized to exploit over 200 Tet publications with output of nearly 542 thousand papers, with a shipping weight of nearly 350 tons. During the days adjacent to the New Year, the daily domestic money transfer service issue and payment per day averaged nearly 50,000; the amount of circulating money was about 200 billion per day. The output of international money transfer on the days near Tet also increased compared to the average of the days before Tet (about 110 received coupons per day), the total amount to about 50,000 USD per day.

The days right before Tet is also a "hot" time for Postal Savings, retirement credit, public servants and the armed forces. The average number of transactions reached 10,500 with a daily payment of more than 1,000 billion dong. The balance of postal savings for the entire postal network is about VND 66,300 billion.

From New Year's Eve to the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year, Vietnam Post has successfully delivered nearly 1,000 express items, which are important documents of the Party and the State to ensure communication during Tet holidays.

In addition, Vietnam Post has also successfully paid over 800 billion VND of preferential subsidies for people with meritorious services and Tet gifts for policy families in January 2021 in 20 provinces; at the same time paying thousands of billion VND of social protection to beneficiaries in localities.
