Hoang Tuan Anh, a Vietnamese entrepreneur who has risen to fame after coming up with the idea of a ‘free rice ATM’ with a campaign launched in March 20 as a way of fighting the impact of the COVID-19, says his initiative stems from Ho Chi Minh City’s recent regulations on citizens wearing face masks in public places
