Vietnam does well against nCovid19

Updated: Apr 17, 2020




1. The number of deaths from infection in Vietnam is ZERO! (by the March 29th, 2020)


Indeed, as a Vietnamese, I also do not believe in this. But in order to maintain this zero, the Vietnamese government has tried and worked flexibly since the beginning of the epidemic in Wuhan.


By February 2020, the number of people infected did not reach 100, we are completely proud to be able to prevent the disease thoroughly. In addition, in order to ensure that the economy does not interrupt and believe that the world will recover quickly, Vietnam maintains the opening of airports and seaports for foreign tourists, keep only the flights not from epidemic regions like China and South Korea. Hospitals and medical science research institutes in Vietnam continue to receive the direction of supervision, isolation of cases, intensifying research on vaccines and temporary medicines for patients.


Around the beginning of March 2020, Vietnam recorded a significant increase in the number of infections, which is explained by the number of overseas Vietnamese migrating to Vietnam. At the same time, there are international student transfers in countries where outbreaks are being executed, to help the number of students stuck at the international airport. As a result, Vietnam doubled the number of cases and up to 3, 4 times, mainly from the United Kingdom. All students are required to be in isolation in some special areas and must have enough14 days, then continue testing 1 to 4 times, then keep staying at home for another 14 days.


2. Everyone understands and sympathizes.


Upon receiving news that there will be an epidemic, people are of course concerned about their own business and financial situation. Some businesses are forced to stop their businesses completely and are not allowed to engage in mass public society as before. The restaurant and hotel industry is the most heavily affected, in this regard, we understand the general situation while the tenants have to leave behind the privileged land lease contracts, the landlord know that happens to anyone so that they decide to not receive the rental fee at full. Without paper proof the tenants agree to allow rent reduction from 30 to 50%.


Everyone is aware of healthcare prevention in epidemics, give each other free masks, wash hands when going in and out of crowded areas, and security always checks body temperature with regular temperature meter. If someone hoards the goods, the government will handle them, and along with the companion of the sponsors and celebrity will be sponsor or give free for you.





3. The government controls the media and effective media information

Every day we receive notifications in Vietnamese and English version from the Ministry of Health, ensuring the latest case number and prevention proposals are informed timely. In addition, the notification loudspeaker is broadcasted in localities twice a day, ensuring that people remember and strictly implement disease prevention.

Newspapers reported not distorting and got to be concise. That means people will not be confused and trust the base source. Strictly handle acts of spreading false information about epidemics on social networks and all are severely punished and lead to the handling of crimes.

4. Volunteers.


Vietnam has Youth Union and police force is always on duty and 100% ready to fight throughout the provinces and cities of Vietnam. Ensure extensive isolation and remind not to go out in crowned places.

Currently the hospital also receives support from trainees from medical universities across the country. This makes the treatment very thorough and effective. Although Vietnam Hospital does not have modern facilities like the Western countries, we are proud of having the best team of doctors in Southeast Asia.

5. Vietnamese are optimistic and understand the information.

Some people working from home, some will be unemployed, but those don't stop us from having fun and enjoying life! At our house along TikTok, we watch comedies, we sing karaoke on Youtube, or simply facetime with friends when having lunch. When going to the market or going to a crowded area, we are calm and get enough for ourselves, leaving food for the other. In Vietnam, we still have a market, so it is not very common to gather at the supermarket, people come to the market to comply with the law and buy fast and sell fast, avoid eating raw and always wash hands after going to the market.
