After the Da Nang government began to impose new tight restrictions on their populations yesterday afternoon in a bid to prevent further Covid-19 community transmission, large numbers of Facebookers in Da Nang have changed their avatar frames with the new ones hailing their city’s uplifting spirit in the ongoing tough fight against the pandemic.

Many Facebook statuses, accompanied by words of great encouragement, such as “Da Nang is strongly determined to repel Covid-19”, “Come on Da Nang,” and “Da Nang, Keep fighting”,  are popping up all over Facebook as a way to spread Da Nang’s strong determination to contain the novel coronavirus.

These aforementioned frames were created by BTEC FPT International College, the IYES International Education company and other educational establishments, all based in Da Nang.

In addition, a heartfelt letter sent by  Da Nang People’s Committee Vice Chairman Le Trung Chinh to visitors has also gone viral on social networks.

Before leaving Da Nang, a domestic visitor said she was very touched by this letter. “I really burst into tear whilst reading this moving letter, with my great love for this city and my friends here”, said the visitor.
