In recent days, the COVID-19 has been developing complicatedly.

FPT high school students and parents quickly packed their furniture to make space for quarantine.

On March 21st, the Hanoi People's Committee signed Decision No.1138/QD-UBND on the establishment of the centralized quarantine location in the dormitories of FPT High school and FPT University in Hoa Lac. Forming part of the FPT University campus, the four-building complex is located in a 300,000-square metre technology park. FPT employees and students vacated dormitory rooms over the weekend to help set up the quarantine facility.

“For FPT, people are our most valuable assets and we are doing our best to help the government fight against Covid-19,” said FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh, “To the best of our ability, we wish to contribute to the protection of frontline doctors, healthcare staff and the community, minimizing the spread of COVID-19, and reducing the pressure on the Government and the City. Hopefully, more hands will join the fight so that we could get through these challenges”.

It has become a good tradition for FPT to do 'For the community' activities for many years. FPT always strives to make contributions with its technological strengths as well as CSR activities.
