Students use yearbook photos to promote Covid-19 prevention messages<\/h2>\n
\n

Many of us have high school yearbooks that we sometimes peruse to reminisce about our fond memories. These said yearbooks were also probably the fruit of heated discussions to make them stand out from the ones from the classes next door.<\/p>\n

Though we have no doubt that your yearbook photos are unique in their own ways, we raise you one from students at a high school in Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i Province. Donning protective suits and masks, they\u2019ve created a trendy photo album to spread Covid-19<\/strong>\u00a0prevention messages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how their creativity has inspired the community.<\/p>\n

The unique album comes courtesy of a class of students at T\u01b0 Ngh\u0129a High School No. 2, located in T\u01b0 Ngh\u0129a District, Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i Province.<\/p>\n

Thanks to having implemented early preventive measures, Qu\u1ea3ng Ng\u00e3i has done a good job of containing the latest Covid-19 outbreak in Vietnam. Currently, citizens of the province are enjoying relative safety, where schools, workplaces, and public facilities are operating as per normal.<\/p>\n

As such, students decided to don masks and protective suits over their uniforms for their yearbook photos, as a way to pay tribute to medical workers on the frontline.<\/p>\n

Several of the shots also show them posing with the Vietnamese flag and a poster displaying the government\u2019s \u201c5K Message\u201d.<\/p>\n

For context, \u201c5K\u201d is a message devised by the Vietnamese government to sum up all the steps citizens need to do during a Covid-19 outbreak in a short, concise way. They include Kh\u1ea9u Trang (Masks), Kh\u1eed Khu\u1ea9n (Disinfect), Kho\u1ea3ng C\u00e1ch (Maintain Distance), Kh\u00f4ng T\u1ee5 T\u1eadp (No Gatherings), and Khai B\u00e1o Y T\u1ebf (Making Health Declarations)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And indeed, it seems the students\u2019 messages have been well-received, as their photos have captured a fair amount of attention from the community.<\/p>\n

The album was recently shared by its photographer Huy Nguyen<\/a> on Tr\u01b0\u1eddng Ng\u01b0\u1eddi Ta<\/a> \u2013 a Vietnamese Facebook group of all things school-related \u2013 delighting fellow students from all over the country.<\/p>\n

While many netizens wonder if the students would be able to tell each other\u2019s masked faces apart 10 years from now, some \u2013 such as commenter Nguy\u1ec5n Trang<\/a> \u2013 think it\u2019s a good idea as \u201cthey didn\u2019t have to worry about makeup and dress codes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tr\u01b0\u01a1ng C\u00f4ng Vi\u1ec7n<\/a>, a member of the class, also quipped in a cheeky answer to the queries, \u201cFor those who have trouble telling us apart, I\u2019m the one in the blue protective suit.\u201d<\/p>\n

While his comment is, of course, meant as a joke, we\u2019re sure the memories of this one-of-a-kind yearbook photo session will stay with them forever.<\/p>\n
