“The artists will perform in different venues and connect with audiences through television waves. In addition to their great performances, artists will also share their experiences related to the pandemic on television.

Vietnamese artists had taken part in many performances lately to cheer up the patients’ spirits as well as pay tribute to the doctors and frontline forces in the Covid-19 fight.

They also responded to the government’s call for composing inspirational and optimistic songs on the theme of the Covid-19 fight. Some of the songs are going viral including “Saigon: Sorry and Thank you!” by Tuan Hung and Khac Viet, “CoViDiXa” (Go away, Coronavirus) by De Choat, “Saigon I Love” by Xuan Phuoc and Quoc Vu, among others.
