Nguyen Thuy Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Da Nang City, told VietNamNet that three days after launching the hotlines to assist Covid-19 affected foreigners, the city had received 180 calls.

Foreigners living and working in Da Nang have donated necessities to support Da Nang people.

Most of the calls asked for support to buy food, to go to vaccination sites, to go to appointments for medical examination, and to buy necessities.

The majority of foreigners in Da Nang are experts working in industrial zones, mainly in the two districts of Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son.

“For those who need support in purchasing food and necessities, our department will transfer information to the related districts to buy and deliver goods to their homes. For difficult cases who are out of money, we will verify information with the authorities of the related districts and bring food to help them," Thuy Anh said.

There are more than 4,800 foreigners in the city. Many of them are Korean.
