Sketches to thank frontline forces in fight against COVID-19

This special collection features daily activities of doctors, nurses and people in the concentrated quarantine facility.

Quang said that like many other Vietnamese students studying abroad, he used to worry about the poor conditions and restricted regulations in such a facility in his home country when he learned about them from fake news.

However, the past 14 day experience changed his mind. He found out that the Vietnamese military and medical sector have given heartfelt and wholehearted support for Vietnamese expats, much more than he expected. Therefore, these sketches will tell a story about life in a concentrated quarantine area.

PANO would like to introduce several sketches from Quang’s collection and his quarantine life

Troops deliver food daily for the quarantined people. Despite the huge workload and scorching sun, troops are always happy, enthusiastic, considerate and cheerful.

Troops bring lunches for the quarantined and wait for their choice. They take notes of any special needs of those who are vegetarians or allergic to any kinds of food to better care for them.

The quarantined people have their body temperature measured twice a day.

Troops go to each room to present gifts and give encouragement to the quarantined people who are completing their 14-day quarantine period. Every quarantined person gets a handmade keychain with the animal corresponding to their zodiac. Quang was surprised at how the troops’ remembered each person’s age and animal choice.
