Tran Duy Truc was picked to create the Covid-19-themed work after a contest run by Vietnamese authorities. Even now, posters with a similar aesthetic can be seen throughout the country during major anniversaries or the Communist Party Congress. One of Truc’s latest design depicts an ethnic Thai mother helping her daughter put on a mask while urging people to wash their hands. Younger creatives, meanwhile, have also pitched in to help with public health messaging, with many posting their work on social media. Vietnam appears to have been relatively successful in containing the coronavirus, recording just 270 cases and zero deaths, and last week started easing social distancing measures.
