Disabled man travels six days on wheelchair-motorbike to avoid Covid-19
A disabled man has travelled six days in his wheelchair-motorbike to return home in Phu Yen Province after losing his job in HCM City.
Truong was paralysed after being sick as a child. Because of poverty, Truong left for HCM City to sell lotto tickets for some income. However, because of the pandemic, he had faced various difficulties and was unable to earn money. On July 30, Truong decided to leave HCM City and return to Phu Yen on his wheelchair-motorbike.
Despite the hot temperature, he didn't dare to stop anywhere for too long, fearing that he may be positive for Covid-19. He received charity meals along the way. On August 4, a charity group called the Phu Yen Provincial Red Cross-SOS Team to help Truong.
This is not the first time Truong had travelled alone to his home province.
Four years ago, he was going to catch a passenger bus to go home for Tet Holiday. Unfortunately, he lost his money along the way and travelled to Phu Yen on his wheelchair-motorbike in eight days.
After receiving the information, Phu Yen Red Cross-SOS Team said they had arrived to pick up Truong, helped him get tested for Covid-19 and transferred him to the quarantine centre in Phu Yen.
