Responding to the campaign initiated on April 4 and will last until April 30, Wayne Worrell, an English teacher living in Hanoi for 10 years, has joined the campaign and called for the participation of other expats and locals.

He met with Casper as he saw a need for greater support. Wayne Worrell thought “it was his duty to bring this to everyone’s attention” and said “it takes less than a minute to do and to support the frontline fighters.” As a result, he collected more than 500 photos in two days as “a positive way bringing greater unity”, he told Hanoitimes.

Wayne Worrell has been known for his dedication to the previous campaign title “Vietnam We Thank You – Việt Nam Cố Lên” that conveys touching thank you messages to frontline workers and “Vietnam Needs You” – a blood drive in March.

Vietnam imposed nationwide two-week social distancing requests from April 1 and extended the period by a week. Health experts said that the practicing of the social distancing has worked as the country confirmed no new coronavirus cases within a week in a row (on April 16-23).
