As the oldest member in the delegates to support Long An province, she was assigned as the leader of testing assistance team. She not only instructed the professional issues but also shared and encouraged students at Bac Giang Medical College who participated in the working delegation.

She took all efforts together with collegues to overcome the hardest period with much tension and pressure to well full fill the task while the number of patients increased days by days with thin frontline medical force.
When Bac Giang called on establishing working delegations to support Southern localities to contain Covid-19 pandemic, she registered to participate without any hesitation as the tribute to the contribution of the medical forces across the nation to Bac Giang. Thanks to the support and encouragement of his parents in law and husband, Diu comfortably departed to the destination and temporarily stayed away from his three year old son.
To support Long An in the first period, she joined both sampling and inoculation teams. In the first days, the members so concerned about the increasingly new infections detected after testing. But with high spirit, they seriously followed the assignment of higher level, applied preventive procedure and strict protection to ensure the safety and recover the difficulties.
Saying goodbye to Long An province after 40 days, Diu always bears in mind the warm emotion of the local people to the delegation.
