"Life in the village is still difficult, with little contact with the outside world, and they are too young to understand what is happening. Some children have been walking barefoot all week, wearing only the same set of clothes since entering quarantine. We have coordinated with organizations and individuals to call for support for clothes, shoes, milk, masks, books, etc. for the children" - Lieutenant Colonel Le Xuan The, Deputy Political Commissar of the Military Command of Tuong Duong District in charge of the Quarantine Area of Tuong Duong Ethnic Minority Secondary School, said.
