After just two days issuing the call for volunteers, 268 people, including three women, from 17 communes, towns, and 10 agencies and units applied to join the Volunteer Vehicle Team. They are of different ages and come from all walks of life but all share the spirit of wanting to contribute to the fight against the epidemic.

At the team's debut ceremony, leaders of Van Yen district presented logos to the drivers in the team. The district health center has trained the drivers in COVID-19 prevention and control measures, including disinfection of themselves and their vehicles, and how to use protective gear properly.
