During the Covid-19 pandemic prevention work, the Caodai Church has asked the Representative Committee in provinces and cities to guide all Caodai parishes in implementing preventive measures against the pandemic, as well as mobilize resources from the church’s members for supporting Covid-19 patients and disadvantaged households badly affected by the pandemic.
