The mask generator with an automatic disinfection spraying system placed in Pham Quang Anh’s bus “released” 15,000 units for people in just one day, February 6.
In the morning, Mrs. Cao Thi Bay was leaning on her back to push a wheelchair past the Youth Culture House in District 1, when she saw a bright yellow bus parked on the side. Hearing the loudspeaker announcing that this was a free mask distribution, Mrs. Bay followed several people ahead.
On the side of the bus, a man instructed her to put her hands in a small round hole, and immediately, the antiseptic solution spurted out, soaking the woman’s hands. As soon as he pulled his hand out and rubbed it well, two masks also suddenly appeared in the next box. The 69-year-old woman laughed excitedly, said: “How come I can hold it quickly. Just wash your hands and get a mask right away, this machine is really cool”.
Today, for the first time, Pham Quang Anh’s masked bus works and fulfills his desire to help people against the Covid-19 epidemic.
Quang Anh is the director of Dony garment company. Last year, when Vietnam appeared the first Covid -19 cases, he immediately switched to the production of masks.
“Seeing many manufacturers speculating on masks. Buyers in panic, despite buying masks of unknown origin. I started thinking of setting up a bank of masks to reserve, when translation is available, bring Presenting to the people with the message: Masks are not lacking “, Quang Anh explained about the appearance of the yellow one. Masked buses also overcome the disadvantages of mask banks that only operate in a fixed place.
Think of it, for a month after that, the young director hired a designer and built a machine to donate automatic masks to put on the bus. But when it was completed, the disease situation was well controlled, the bus that had not been run for a test was brought into storage.
“Despite the dedication of the whole team, we feel so lucky and happy that the translation is basically under control,” the guy said.
The intention to donate to his people has not been realized, in the middle of last year, the epidemic in the US became tense, Quang Anh decided to donate 1.3 million antibacterial fabric masks to the American people. After that, this product of your company is exported to Europe, the Middle East …
A week ago, when the Covid -19 case appeared in the community in Hai Duong, Quang Anh still hoped that the epidemic would not spread widely. After many provinces in the country continuously appeared but infected cases, he decided to bring the old bus with the machinery in the warehouse to repair it, to present masks to people.
The masked bus operates very simply, with the goal of limiting contact with as many people as possible. After putting your hands in the sterilization box, the sensor automatically sprayed hand sanitizer, at the same time, the machine also automatically released two masks. The people just take and leave.
After 3 days of recovery, on the morning of the 25th of the New Year, the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Workers’ Support Center organized a trip back home for thousands of workers. Quang Anh volunteered with the employees in the company who were present from 5 am to assist in distributing automatic masks with his bus.
“Although masks are not as scarce now as before, we hope to bring quality masks to the Vietnamese people. The appearance of the bus also spread the 5K message to everyone. people, “said the director, said that the fabric masks of his company have been sterilized so they can be used immediately, without washing, with antibacterial durability up to 60 times.
“At first, fearing that many people would take advantage of masks more than once, we designed another facial recognition device but at the last minute removed it. I think, I shouldn’t be too strict. If they take more. they use it themselves, only their family members use it, “said Quang Anh.
After distributing masks to the young workers returning home, the bus was still parked at the gate of the youth culture house on Pham Ngoc Thach street to give people until 5:00 pm. It is holding festivals and spring programs that attract many people, including those who do not wear masks.
Today, the bus will continue to run to Mien Dong Bus Station, Binh Thanh District, Western Bus Station, Tan Binh District Cultural Center … to donate masks to people until Tet 30, with the number up up to 100,000 units.
“The bus after a day of testing works very well. If there is more companionship of many other exporters, then very good, we are ready for this bus to run anywhere people. need, “said Quang Anh.
