(HBO) - Many organisations and individuals in Hoa Binh province have initiated making masks and providing free of charge for local people amid the increased price of medical masks in the market due to the high demand.
Masks are produced at the Liem Duong garment workshop to
give to local people.
The youth union of Huu Nghi ward, Hoa Binh city has coordinated with the
Liem Duong garment workshop in group 16, Huu Nghi ward to produce masks and
present them to those in need.
Vice Secretary of the union Hung Nguyen said the organization’s proposal has received
the warm support from the workshop’s owner after medical experts announced at a
press conference on January 31 in Hanoi that people can use daily washed cloth
masks for preventing the acute respiratory disease casued
by a new coronavirus (nCoV).
On February 1, the family started selecting
quality fabrics to make masks. At the same time, the union urged its members to
participate in distributing masks for free to locals, popularize how to use a
mask properly and ways to prevent nCoV, and call for the people to pay special attention
to fighting the epidemic.
On the same day’s afternoon, about 500 cloth masks were presented to local
people.
In
Lac Thuy district, the Tuan Hien drugstore in Chi Ne market, Chi Ne township also
gave free medical masks to many people in the locality.
They said that in the context that people rushed to buy masks like on January
31, many people could not buy masks. That is why they decided to give masks free
of charge to local residents.
These actions of the union, the Liem Duong garment workshop and the Tuan Hien
drugstore have been supported and appreciated by locals. Many youth organizations
in and outside the province have learned from and applied the initiatives in
their localities./.
