HUST supports international students amid prolonged COVID-19 social distancing

Amid the complicated evolvement of COVID-19 across the country and the prolonged social distancing order which has been implemented for weeks in Hanoi, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) has provided prompt support for our international students who are currently staying on HUST’s campus.

There is a total of 119 full-time international students from Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka… who are studying in HUST under different Engineer and Bachelor programs in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering or Electronics and Telecommunications. When the 4th COVID-19’s wave hit Vietnam at the end of April, HUST always remains at our students’ disposal to keep them up to date with the pandemic situation in Hanoi as well as in the whole country for the best prevention and preparation.

As Hanoi imposes a citywide social distancing order starting from 24th July 2021, a large number of HUST students, including international students were stuck in the dormitory and encountered a lot of difficulties in purchasing necessities for their daily life.

To assist international students in the context of ongoing restriction measures which requires residents to “stay where they are”, on 10 August, 119 boxes of noodles were provided for the ones currently living in dormitory areas A2-A3, B7BIS and T4.
