“Now that the kids are back at school, I have to get up early, to prepare breakfast and take my kids to school. This morning everyone takes their children to school like me, so the road is quite crowded. During the time of social distancing, the road was easier to move but we want to comeback to a normal life so that the children can go to school ”, Ms. Dung shared.

Mr. Tran Dinh Chinh (in Dong Da district) said, although it took time to move because of many people, he did not feel uncomfortable because it was a sign that life was gradually returning to normal after a period of turmoil due to Covid-19 pandemic.
