Located in an old factory headquarters on Le Ninh Street (Quan Bau Ward, Vinh City), it is a place of residence for dialysis patients. During the Covid-19 outbreak, the whole boarding house became desolate. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Mr. Le Huong (71 years old), from Dien Hai, Dien Chau, has been on dialysis for nearly 10 years. He has kidney failure and polycystic ovary syndrome and cannot work. His wife, Ngo Thi Kha, had to pack up and go take care of her husband. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Every day, she collects scrap metal. On average, she earns a few dozen dollars a day to help cover living expenses and help her husband with his medical bills. Since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out again, especially when Vinh city implemented social distancing according to Directive 16, Ms. Kha has had to stay at home and cannot earn money, making her already difficult life even more difficult.

Every day, the two of them depend on charity meals. “If there is a lot, we have two meals, if there is little, we have one meal to share. We live day by day,” Mr. Huong said. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Since Vinh city implemented social distancing, district buses have not entered the city, and Mr. Lo Vinh Tinh (67 years old), from Tam Thai commune (Tuong Duong), has not dared to go out to the checkpoint to get things sent by relatives. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Aid from home has been cut off, and for the past month he and his wife have been living a makeshift life. “There is no vehicle going down the river so the children cannot send things down, and even if they did, they would not dare to send them because they are afraid of the Covid epidemic. For a long time now, the two of them have been living on charity,” said Vang Thi Huyen (64 years old), Mr. Tinh’s wife. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

Also living in the "dialysis village", Kha Van Giao (born in 1991) from Yen Hoa commune (Tuong Duong) has been going to Vinh for dialysis since 2017. He has to go for dialysis 3 times a week. To make money, one day he goes for dialysis, the other day he drives a motorbike. Vi Thi On - Giao's wife - also had to leave her children with her grandparents and go to Vinh to find extra work to help her husband. The work is hired work, depending on the product, so the income is also unstable. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| The Covid-19 outbreak has caused the “dialysis neighborhood” to close its gates regularly. Mr. Giao, like other dialysis patients, must stay at home and only go out when going for dialysis. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

His wife takes care of all his daily activities and expenses. While being treated, struggling to make a living, and fighting the pandemic, the lives of dialysis patients have become more difficult during the Covid-19 pandemic. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

“The Covid epidemic broke out, everyone here is worried, just hiding at home, on the day of dialysis, they go to the hospital and don’t dare go anywhere. All the part-time jobs before had to be stopped,” said Mr. Giao. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

Not only Mr. Kha Van Giao, the "dialysis village" has 15 people in the same situation. They are all people with difficult circumstances, coming here to rent a room to get treatment. Normally, one day they go for dialysis, one day they work for hire, drive a motorbike, collect scrap metal... to make ends meet. During the Covid-19 epidemic, dialysis patients are anxious, locking themselves in a small room to "hide from the epidemic". Photo: Thanh Cuong |
