COVID-19: 100,000 masks presented to 16 German states
Berlin (VNA) – As many as 100,000 masks ordered by the
Vietnamese community in Germany have been presented to the World University
Service (WUS) in an effort to fight COVID-19.
The masks, carried by national
flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, will later be sent to 16 German states.
Speaking at the presentation
ceremony, WUS President Kambiz Ghawami said over the past time, many Vietnamese
associations in Germany have also sewn masks and offered free meals to
nurseries, firefighting forces and frontline medical workers in the host country.
On the occasion, the organising
board also handed over the token of 6,250 masks to Rheinland-Pfalz state.
As of May 14, the WUS sent
masks to 11 German states, and more will come to the remaining states in the
near future./.
