Eighty nuns from various congregations in Dong Nai province, one of Vietnam’s Covid-19 epicenters, have volunteered to work as frontline workers at field hospitals and quarantine centers for Covid-19 patients at Xuan Loc Diocese’s request.
They received training in computer skills and offering psychological advice and health care to patients for days before setting off last week as most of them work at church-run daycare centers.
