HÀ NỘI — A number of Vietnamese songwriters have composed songs about the coronavirus epidemic.

Musical couple Sa Huỳnh and Nguyễn Duy Hùng both have released new songs. Entitled Đôi Mắt nCoV (Eyes of nCoV), the song by Huỳnh was inspired by images of the doctors in Wuhan, China, who have to wear protective clothing while treating patients.

"I read an article about doctors in Wuhan on HCM City Women newspaper on February 4 and was very moved," Huỳnh said.

She asked her husband to help arrange the tune. After working for 11 hours without break, the recording was complete.

"I hope the song will help people become more aware of the virus and encourage them in difficult situations," said the musician.

Her husband, musician Hùng, released a song entitled Đại Dịch Vũ Hán (Wuhan Pandemic).

Students are experiencing their longest Tết holiday, said singer Minh Vương. He said he has been spending time at home to avoid crowded places.
