The implementation of these support packages amid the complicated development of the COVID-19 pandemic created huge pressure on the amount of work and progress to implement tasks for the Vietnam’s social insurance sector (including preparing resources, building implementation processes, upgrading professional software, and increasing information dissemination to help employers and employees acknowledge information and ways to get support from the packages). 
In face of difficulties and challenges, the VSS Director General Nguyen The Manh promptly directed the whole social insurance sector to prepare enough resources, promote the use of information and technology and simplify procedures to effectively implement these support packages as planned for employers and employees. The sector also focused on increasing information dissemination to help employers and employees get access to the support packagesfully as soon as possible.
