Hanoi mom and kids wear raincoats at COVID-19 test site<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

With daily increases in COVID-19 community cases<\/a>, the Vietnamese government has resumed all preventive measures, one of which includes encouraging us to wear masks in public<\/strong>. Not only do masks help to cover our mouths and noses from viruses,<\/strong> but they also help to keep everyone around you safe in case you are sick.<\/p>\n

Keeping this in mind, a mother in Hanoi and her 3 children took the safety game up a notch by covering themselves from head to toe<\/strong> in raincoats, shades, and face masks when going for their COVID-19 tests.<\/p>\n

Because 2 out of the 3 kids had mild fevers<\/strong>, the mother was considerate enough to make the family dress in raincoats to avoid affecting the people they came in contact with as much as possible.<\/p>\n

A short while later, the family\u2019s tests came out negative<\/strong>, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief and go home.<\/p>\n

Netizens are impressed at the family\u2019s responsible behavior<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

These photos have won plaudits <\/strong>from netizens, drawing over 15,000 likes at the time of writing. Many expressed their admiration for the family\u2019s responsible behavior <\/strong>during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Facebook user Linh Nhu Pham<\/a> commented on the post, \u201cIt\u2019s right to be covered in full gear like this. Those who go for COVID-19 testing are all at risk of carrying the virus. Dressing like this helps to keep the community and themselves safe.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf everyone can show this much responsibility towards society, we\u2019ll be spared of many problems. And yet there are people who try to avoid quarantine<\/strong>,\u201d Facebook user Giang Do<\/a> commented, adding a sad-face emoji to show her disappointment.<\/p>\n

Hai Phong city hands out 2 million free masks to local residents<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

To make sure that everyone has face masks to wear in the public as well as to discourage price gouging<\/strong>, Hai Phong city authorities have decided to give out 2 million<\/strong> free masks to local residents. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

1 million masks<\/strong> have been sent to each district and ward to be handed out to every household, while the remaining 1 million masks will continue to be handed out at a later date, Voice of Vietnam (VOV)<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

As the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic hit Vietnam, many face mask sellers have raised their prices in response. Handing out free masks to local residents will help to curb price gouging <\/strong>during emergencies and help residents save a big sum of money on masks.<\/p>\n

Thousands of Da Nang returnees across the country have yet to be tested, which means we still have a long way to go in our battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Until the original source of coronavirus transmission is detected and Vietnam stops reporting any COVID-19 community cases, no safety measure will be redundant<\/strong>. Remember to wear masks in public at all times, sanitize your hands regularly, and get a\u00a0 COVID-19 test at your nearest testing point if you returned from Da Nang after 1st July.<\/p>\n
