The Telegraph highly appreciated the fact that Vietnam had defeated two waves of the Covid-19 pandemic and stated that now Vietnam can be proud of its successes.

Vietnam has experienced many consecutive days without any cases of infection in the community.

Although the border is still closed, specific flights have been allowed to operate to the countries of the region. In addition, Vietnam’s lifestyle has returned to a surprisingly normal way compared to most countries in the world: regulations on social gap have been lifted, domestic tourism is strongly active. back, restaurants and bars were gradually crowded.

Notably, unlike the first wave of epidemics, Vietnam has responded to the second outbreak of the epidemic within the local framework to avoid large-scale economic losses. For the first wave of epidemics in March, Vietnam adopted national social exclusion rules.

During the second outbreak, Da Nang was tightly blocked, most businesses were closed.

At the same time, bars, karaoke bars and nightclubs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were also closed. Gathering of more than 30 people was banned and people forced to wear masks in public. However, areas of everyday life are still allowed to take place normally.

Vietnam also tested Covid-19 on a large scale on anyone returning from Da Nang before the blockade came into effect. In addition, Da Nang has carried out extensive testing. Tracing the contact was quick and thorough.

The Telegraph reported: “The tactics that the Government of Vietnam deployed at the beginning of the year when the new translation broke out was extremely effective”.

The second tactic of Vietnam that the Telegraph pointed out is the media. The Ministry of Health of Vietnam regularly sends text messages to mobile subscribers, giving recommendations and preventive measures to help people protect their health from epidemics.

By the end of August 2020, the decision to block Da Nang and trace suspected cases slowed the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic. Up to the present time, Vietnam has gone through 3 weeks without cases of infection in the community, ending the second epidemic wave.

Operations to and from Da Nang have been resumed, and Vietnamese businesses have returned to normal operations.

“The atmosphere of confidence is back on the streets of Vietnam. After successfully halting the first outbreak in March and April, Vietnam can now be proud of having defeated Covid-19. the second time “, author Michael Tatarski concluded.
