Migrant workers returning from industrial hubs to their hometowns have volunteers making food for them to eat and strangers helping them.
Tran Thuong decided to ride her motorbike from Ho Chi Minh City to Dong Thap Province in the Mekong Delta on Oct.3. The 25-year-old worker did not carry much with her, but the journey to her hometown was smooth.
She had heard she would be isolated at home if she had received a Covid vaccine and had a negative test result, but it turned out all returnees had to quarantine.
"It was disappointing at the time," she says.
But the enthusiastic reception from people in her hometown has been a great source of comfort. She and others were accompanied by Dong Thap police, who divided them into groups based on where they lived in the province.
