Of these, about 70% of those killed and injured are the breadwinners in their families. In addition, in the past 2 years of the Covid-19 pandemic, 4,461 Vietnamese children have become orphans, especially 193 children who have lost both parents - according to a report from the Department of Children (Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs).
