Covid-19 has quickly spread all around the globe and had a huge impact on people’s lives everywhere, affecting our business and personal lives, with our health seriously threatened. In Vietnam and elsewhere, governments and people are united in their efforts to overcome the disease.
Many amazing photos have already been published of dedicated benefactors, government and medical staff, the army and police and ordinary citizens, all working closely together during the epidemic. As a result, DTU is organizing a photo contest entitled “Vietnam wins war again Covid-19” to honor the acts of kindness and humanitarianism during the Covid-19 pandemic.
