Phu Tho resident made chicken stew for officers working the night shift<\/h2>\n
\n

To date,\u00a0 Vietnam is still continuing its winning streak in containing the outbreak of COVID-19, thanks to the enforcement of compulsory social distancing and mask-wearing in public by police officers nationwide with residents\u2019 cooperation.<\/p>\n

To thank our hardworking police officers who have to work day and night to maintain law and order, on 8th April, a woman in Phu Tho made homemade chicken stew for them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

She felt for the young police officers<\/h3>\n

Mdm Li\u00ean shared that her heart melted seeing police officers working around the clock,\u00a0 as if they were living on the streets they patrolled for the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

She then decided to make a large pot of chicken stew with meat\u00a0 from her homegrown chickens<\/strong> to help the officers warm their stomachs, and brought it right to their makeshift roadside police station.<\/p>\n

Before leaving, she urged the officers to start eating the stew while it was still hot<\/strong>, and that she would be upset if they would not finish it to the last drop.<\/p>\n

Ever since the government\u2019s call on every Vietnamese citizen to chip in to coronavirus relief efforts, the country has seen countless donors from all walks of life step up and make donations, from money to groceries. However, a simmering pot of chicken stew is probably the most unique and mouthwatering donation we\u2019ve seen so far. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Police officers are on the frontlines keeping the public safe and facing high risks of coronavirus transmission<\/strong>. We should not take their sacrifice for granted, and try to show our gratitude whenever we can. The easiest way to help is to observe social distancing to protect ourselves and the public. <\/strong><\/p>\n
