On May 13, 2021, in the context of a new Covid-19 resurgence alongside many complicated developments, FPT urgently handed over nearly 3,000 seats at FPT University and High School dormitory in Hoa Lac to support the quarantine effort.

More than 70 officials, employees and teachers of FPT University assisted students transferring large amounts of property and furniture in a hurry. The storage space was quickly rearranged, while ensuring furnitures were to be taken care of and cleaned up for handover. During the process, FPT University still strictly adhered to the 5K principle and did not let the procedure affect the summer semester of 2021. Due to the careful preparation as well as the experience from the first wave, the work was carried out relatively smoothly.
