Ho Chi Minh City has been facing unprecedented challenges from the latest COVID-19 outbreak.

To support the effort, one young teacher in the city composed a song to keep people in good spirits during these trying days.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) recently sent a dispatch asking domestic airlines to suspend flights to and from airports in several southern cities and provinces that are under social distancing measures from July 19.
