Specifically, the Vietnamese Government presented 110,000 medical face masks to the Government of Germany to equip frontline units in the epidemic battle. Together with Germany, some other European nations seriously impacted by the disease, including France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain, also received the same number of masks as gifts from the Vietnamese side.
The statement also said that, in recent days, the Vietnamese community in Germany have mobilised thousands of medical face masks, homemade masks and medical gloves and presented them to hospitals and nursing homes. In addition, many Vietnamese restaurants in Germany have shown solidarity by delivering thousands of free meal sets to doctors and nurses working in hospitals’ active treatment centres.
