Keeping optimism and positivity in the midst of the battle against coronavirus, Tung and his team roll into processing a lot of green tea burger buns and then concocting some coronavirus-themed crowns from the dough. They sell it at the Hanoi-based Pizza Home takeaway shop.

Being a neighbor to China - the first center of coronavirus pandemic - Vietnam announced the number of 16 infected cases in the middle of February.
