Vietnamese help one another with free food<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

In its battle against COVID-19, Vietnam has been achieving good results<\/a> and has had many patients treated for the coronavirus testing negative twice in a row.<\/p>\n

However, for many who have lost their jobs or lack enough savings to tide over this economic crisis, <\/strong>their situations are far from looking up.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, Vietnamese people across the country are chipping in to coronavirus relief efforts to support vulnerable groups of people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Ordinary Vietnamese people are giving food away <\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

From individuals to groups, students to celebrities, more Vietnamese are lending a hand in the most practical way possible.<\/p>\n

Many restaurants and individuals around the country have been photographed laying out displaying food packages and basic necessities in public, and putting up on signs that read, \u201cTake one if you need. If you\u2019re doing fine, leave this for someone who really needs it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
