Granny donates homegrown veggies to help frontliners at major COVID-19 cluster<\/h2>\n
\n

The northern province of B\u1eafc Giang is currently one of the biggest COVID-19 clusters of Vietnam. Since yesterday evening, there have been nearly 100 new cases reported in the area.<\/p>\n

Understandably, medical workers have been working extra hard to curb the spread of the virus, trace down infection sources, and cater to the needs of quarantined patients.<\/p>\n

But all their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Citizens of the province have found their own ways to show appreciation to these heroes. This granny, for instance, brings veggies from her own garden<\/strong> to a COVID-19 security post to gift to soldiers working there.<\/p>\n

Hers is a simple gesture, but it\u2019s inspiring to see that every member of our society is contributing to the fight in their own ways.<\/p>\n

The heartwarming incident happened to H\u1eefu H\u1ea3i<\/a>, who says he works at a COVID-19 security post in B\u1eafc Giang\u2019s L\u1ee5c Ng\u1ea1n District.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning, I was standing at my post when a granny brought 2 handfuls of long beans over and told me, \u2018I broke my arm over a month ago and couldn\u2019t work, so I don\u2019t have any money to donate. I only have some homegrown long beans. Hopefully they can make for a good meal for you to stay healthy during this fight.\u2019\u201d, H\u1eefu H\u1ea3i shared on his Facebook page<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past week, many people have come to my post to donate groceries, but I find her gifts exceptionally touching,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Of course, the granny\u2019s gifts are just an example of the appreciation B\u1eafc Giang citizens are showering our frontliners with. Earlier, a traffic policeman in the province also went viral after he saluted a convoy of medical workers passing by<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, many residents hang banners with thankful messages directed toward medical staff, especially those who came all the way over from other provinces to help B\u1eafc Giang in its time of need.<\/p>\n

It would seem that the citizens\u2019 seemingly simple gestures have gone a long way in boosting medical workers\u2019 morale. Despite all the hard work, many appear to stay cheerful and positive, as evidenced by some viral photos taken inside a quarantine facility.<\/p>\n

The photos show medical workers, while still in full protective gear, raising their hands over their heads to make a heart shape toward the camera, as if telling everyone to stay strong.<\/p>\n

Stories such as the gift of homegrown veggies from a granny or a lone traffic policeman\u2019s salute<\/a> on the roads show that we don\u2019t need big words or grand plans to make a difference. Often, it is the simplest of gestures that are the most genuine.<\/p>\n

Surely, with such social unity, B\u1eafc Giang will manage to pull through this ordeal.<\/p>\n
