CNN on Monday reported that automatic rice dispensers are unbelievable. The “rice ATMs” have been installed in many parts of Vietnam to help poor people affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Rice ATMs are offered in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, and many other localities.
On Twitter, US writer Marianne Williamson stated her belief that the initiative should be deployed throughout the US where tens of millions of people have been left out of work as a result of the economic impact of the COIVD-19 outbreak.
