To contain the novel coronavirus disease, Truc Bach Street in Hanoi – where 66 families and 189 residents live – has been in isolation for three days after one of its residents became the capital's first COVID-19 patient.
Vietnam online newspaper VnExpress reported that the community has been encouraged to continue on with their regular routines, but to follow precautions and safety protocols.

As residents are not allowed to leave the area, free resources such as noodles, rice, eggs, meat, and vegetables are regularly sent in to help them

The goods are stored at a warehouse in Truc Bach. Packages like chicken and pork are hygienically sourced and carefully preserved before they are freely distributed to residents in the area.
