This is a place that can accommodate more than 2,000 people for quarantine. The dormitory is located in an 30-hectare area with lots of fresh air and trees, including many functional buildings with full facilities. At the same time, the FPT Corporation also donated 20 billion VND to buy medical equipment to prevent nCoV pneumonia.
