The volunteers include over 650 students of medicine and pharmacy colleges and universities, 47 medical workers, and 41 apprentices.

The medical and pharmacy students will be sent to the Da Nang Centre for Disease Control and district-level medical centres in order to conduct public health surveillance and epidemiological investigation there.

The medical workers will perform their duties at medical facilities where coronavirus-infected patients are being treated, whilst the apprentices will be arranged at the city’s designated isolation sites.
