In response to the spread of Covid-19 and the scarcity of masks, HCMUT – Bach Khoa has gifted antimicrobial face masks to all of the employees. The gift includes 2 different face masks to change every day whose antimicrobial properties are assured within 30 times of washing, recognized by the Vietnam Textile Research Institute – Joint Stock Company.
In particular, nearly 21.000 university students will receive 2 antimicrobial face masks, which are gifts from former students brought by the Board of Phu Tho – Bach Khoa Students Representatives. Special love from former students to all the students at HCMUT – Bach Khoa is the biggest encouragement for all of us to together stay healthy physically and mentally in this difficult period. We are glad to say thanks to the Board of Phu Tho – Bach Khoa Students Representatives, including Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Geology & Petroleum Engineering, Electrical – Electronics Engineering, CK82 former students (Mechanical Engineering), Computer Science & Engineering, Materials Technology, Environmental and Natural Resources for supporting us in this essential activity.
In this time, the limited company Como has provided free 200 advanced antimicrobial face masks whose quality can be assured within 100 times of washing for employees to together prevent Covid-19.
At the moment, although it is not easy to purchase 42.000 face masks, we are well-prepared for this scenario. Packaging face masks for employees was done by some female employees and packaging face masks for students was done by the volunteers recruited by the university’s HoChiMinh Communists Youth Union.
HCMUT – Bach Khoa students can receive masks by scanning their student’s ID barcode in some stalls placed in the dormitory, the gate of the Ly Thuong Kiet campus, and buildings in Thu Duc campus when they get back. Students who come to university to complete their graduation assignments can get their masks on the Ly Thuong Kiet campus.
Preparing face masks for employees and students is an essential activity, supporting the public in the prevention of Covid-19. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thien Phuc – Vice President said: “This activity not only is humane, providing students with protective measures but also helps to maintain HCMUT – Bach Khoa’s great tradition and the former students’ love to all the students who are still under HCMUT’s proof. More than preparing masks, the university also provides hand sanitizers in the buildings, hand soap in the restrooms and all the employees have to wear masks working on the campus. In the time when the students haven’t got back to class, the university starts to spray disinfectant, clean the classrooms, and provide information about how to protect our health on the university’s website and fanpage so the students will not panic and stay calm to prevent Covid-19. Also, the university has set up a board to organize the spots where people can get their body temperature taken and quarantine areas, to provide students with the hotline in order to connect all the students and the university with the preventive anti-epidemic measures.
