According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuc, for the past few weeks, when the order to stay in place was issued by the government, the leader of the residential group was the extension arm at the grassroots.

Ms. Phuc said that due to the order to stay in place, it took her many calls to find an acquaintance to ask to open the shop and choose the right phone for Mr. Hung.

During the epidemic that is raging in Da Nang, the dedicated and diligent image of the leaders of the residential groups has made a strong impression on the people. On the newspapers and Facebook groups that run the city of Da Nang, the story of the team leaders going in the rain and wind, at night to support people when they cannot go out has received many compliments.
Many team leaders were exhausted, fainted at the checkpoint, or had to be hospitalized like the leader of group 29 Hoa Khanh Nam (Lien Chieu). Some team leaders, because they are old, do not know how to use social networks, so the police and people in the residential area buy new phones, then organize “training” on how to use the network to connect with people. The image of group leaders emerged during the epidemic as special civil servants, those who “carry prisoners and generals” at the bottom line of the government apparatus.
