In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly across the world with the emergence of the Delta variant.
In Ho Chi Minh City, strict social distancing measures were implemented: starting from May 31, the city enforced distancing rules, and by July 19, Directive 16 was applied citywide.
In District 5, residents were reminded daily to follow the 5K safety principles:
Mask – Disinfection – Distance – No Gathering – Health Declaration.
During the same time, the national vaccination campaign was accelerated, with many vaccine shipments delivered through COVAX / UNICEF to ensure timely protection for citizens.
You play as a teenage volunteer working on the frontline of a quarantine zone (District 5, Ho Chi Minh City).
Your mission is to deliver essential supplies without direct contact, remind citizens not to gather, and help maintain safety and morale during the lockdown.
