Included are " Pooled sample testing " by Ho Dinh Nam Kha, "Viet Nam wins its fight against COVID-19" by Tran Huu Duong, " Frontline staff in the fight against the pandemic" by Phan Van Wall. There will be no ceremony to mark the start of this year’s regional art exhibition due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s event will take place virtually and the selected art works will be judged based on digital format.
