Graduating from Mekong Delta’s prestigious Cần Thơ University, 24-year-old Phạm Thanh Vũ still refers himself as a farmer in the truest sense of this word.

Kevin Tùng Nguyễn, who co-founded the San Francisco-based K-Source, a software firm with over 200 employees, and Ivylish – a business operating to support orphans and disadvantaged children in developing countries, returned to Viet Nam in 2015.

Since its debut in 2013, Ybox has developed from a Facebook fanpage sharing opportunities for university students to a website offering wide ranges of jobs, scholarships, competitions and application tips.

The most important task at this crucial time is promoting the unity, solidarity and cooperation of all people throughout the country to cope with any pandemic situation, Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc said at a teleconference with five centrally-run cities – Hà Nội, HCM City, Hải Phòng, Cần Thơ and Đà Nãng on Sunday.

Cần Thơ, the most populated city in the Mekong Delta region, has achieved outstanding results in developing a project to build a smart city after nearly two years of implementation. 

The People’s Council of HCM City has approved a financial support package worth VNĐ2.75 trillion (US$116.4 million) to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 and to support employees affected by the pandemic.

The Ministry of Health has announced six new cases of COVID-19, all employees of Trường Sinh Company, which provides none medical services to Bạch Mai Hospital.
