After finishing, Thai greeted everyone, pulled his suitcase to the car so his father could take him away.
Thai is in the same class as a friend whose sister is F0, working in Van Trung industrial park, Viet Yen district.
Students of class 6A2 are currently quarantined at Dinh Ke Primary School, after a classmate tested positive for nCoV.
Working in the medical field, Mr. Nguyen Dung, 38 years old, Thai’s father, guessed the situation as soon as his son was given priority to be tested first.
Taking his child to Dinh Ke Secondary School, Mr. Dung met many other parents, all of whom seemed stressed.
The teachers are assigned to live with the male students, while the teacher manages the female students.
Every day, teachers update the detailed status of eating, sleeping and exercise times in the class group for parents to follow.
Every day, Mr. Dung calls 1-2 times to remind his child to eat and sleep on time, to wear a mask, disinfect his hands constantly and keep distance.
But on the second day, realizing that going into quarantine was not an outing as he thought, Thai sadly answered his father’s phone call.
Mr. Dung encouraged his child to stay there with his teachers and friends and try to adapt.
`This will be the most memorable trip in your children’s lives. I hope that after 21 days of meeting again, your children will be more mature and know how to do some jobs that they normally don’t do,` Mr. Dung said.
In the room in the quarantine area, the children comply with the regulations on wearing masks and distancing.
There is also a child in quarantine this time, Ms. Hong Mai, 40 years old, shared that the day she drove her daughter to school, Ms. Mai cried all the way because she had never been away from her child for such a long time.
I carry my phone with me so I text and share with my mom every day.
When I’m in my room, I watch TV or read books and stories sent by benefactors.
Mr. Nguyen Van Tho, Principal of Dinh Ke Secondary School, said that all students of class 6A2 and 17 teachers must be quarantined at home from May 9, until May 13, then quarantined at a centralized location.
