The country's response to the outbreak has received
acclaim for its effectiveness and transparency, as well as its
low-cost model, in contrast to China, the rest of Southeast
Asia and even to Europe and North America and is
compared to how South Korea has responded, despite
being less economically developed.[3][4][5]
Background
On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO)
confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a
respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City,
Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on
31 December 2019.[6][7]
The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower
than SARS of 2003,[8][9] but the transmission has been
significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[10][8]

January
On 23 January, Vietnam confirmed the first two cases of

COVID-19, a Chinese man (#1) travelling from Wuhan to
Hanoi to visit his son who lived in Vietnam, and his son (#2),
who was believed to have contracted the disease from his
father. They were hospitalised on 22 January at Chợ Rẫy
Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City.[11] On 24 January, Acting
Minister of Health Vũ Đức Đam ordered the activation of the
Emergency Epidemic Prevention Centre.[12] On 29 January,
the son fully recovered and was discharged.[13] His father
was discharged on 12 February.[14]
A week later, three positive cases were confirmed by the

Ministry of Health, involving Vietnamese nationals who had
returned from Wuhan. Case No. 3 (25-yr-old female) was
quarantined and cured in Thanh Hóa Province, while the
other two cases (#4: 29-yr-old male; #5: 23-yr-old female)
are hospitalised in Hanoi.[15][16] Case No. 5 was discharged
on 3 February, fully recovered and tested negative with the
virus.[17]

Vietnamese panic buying instant noodles in supermarket during the

pandemic.
On 1 February, a 25-year-old woman (#6) was declared

coronavirus-positive in Khánh Hòa Province. She has
worked as a receptionist and had direct contact with the
Chinese father and son (cases #1–2).[18] This case was
discharged from the hospital on 4 February.[19] Noticeably,
this case was the first domestic transmission in Vietnam,
leading to an epidemic declaration signed by the
Vietnamese Prime Minister and calls for border tightening,
aviation permits revoked, and visa restriction.[20][21][22][23]
On 2 February, a Vietnamese American (#7) got infected
with coronavirus, due to two-hour layover in Wuhan airport
during his trip from the US.[24]
On 3–4 February, Vietnam announced their eighth and ninth

case: a 29-year-old female (#8) and a 30-year-old male (#9).
They belonged to the same training team with the previous
confirmed cases of three (cases #3-through-5).[25][26]
Later on 4 February, the 10th case was identified. A 42-year-

old female met and greeted with the case No. 5 during
Lunar New Year holiday.[27] Mother (49-year-old, #11) and
younger sister (16-year-old, #12) of the case No. 5 were
also transmitted on 6 February.[28]
On 7 February, Vietnam confirmed their 13th case, a 29-

year-old worker, who is a member of the same training crew
with 5 previously confirmed cases (case #3,4,5,8,9).[29]
Earlier of the same day, Vietnam declared to have
successfully cultured and isolated the virus in the lab. This
is one of the few countries able to do this, aside from
Singapore, Australia, Japan and China.[30]
On 9 February, a 55-year-old woman, a neighbour of case

No. 5, tested positive; the 14th case.[31]
On 10 February, three more cases: #4, #5 and #9 were

declared to be recovered.[32]
The 15th case was identified on 11 February, a 3-month-old

grandchild of case No. 10.[33]
On 13 February, father of case No. 5 was tested positive,

making the number of cases in Vietnam 16.[34]
On 25 February, the 16th was released from the hospital

after being tested negative from the COVID-19, temporarily
made Vietnam cleared from COVID-19 outbreak.[35]
However, quarantine measures continue to be imposed until
further notice.[36]

CGV Cinema temporarily closed at Hanoi Times City in March 2020.
On 6 March night, Hanoi urgently announced a new case of

coronavirus, the first one found in the capital of Vietnam.
The patient, a 26-year-old woman, had been traveling across
Europe during the outbreak. She had been exhibiting several
symptoms, but didn't notify the authorities about her travel
history or health conditions.[37] The government has
isolated roughly 200 people who had close contact, live on
the same street, or were on the same flight as the patient.
[38][39] The incident also sparked a wave of stockpiling
purchases across the city.[40]
On 7 March afternoon, a 27-year-old Vietnamese was put

into quarantine in Ninh Bình Province, after he was
diagnosed with COVID-19, making this the 18th case. The
patient had been in Daegu for several days.[41] Just 2 hours
later, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health confirmed 2 more
cases, both related to the 17th case.[42]
On 8 March, another case in Hanoi was announced, which

was a 61-year-old man.[43] Later this day, 9 more cases was
announced, with 4 cases in Quảng Ninh, 2 cases in Lào Cai,
2 cases in Đà Nẵng and 1 case in Thừa Thiên - Huế. All of
them were on the same flight with case #17.[44]
On 9 March evening, a 49-year-old British man was put into

quarantine in Quảng Nam Province, related to patient
number 17.[45]
On 10 March, a 24-year-old Vietnamese woman was

announced positive with the virus and had close contact
with case #17 while in London. After she acknowledged
that case #17 was infected, she flew back to Vietnam in a
private jet with quarantined cabin to seek healthcare in her
home country.[46] Later that day, another British man was
found infected with the virus, who was on the same flight
with case #17.[47] Before the end of the day, the 34th case
was identified, a 51-year-old businesswoman who had
visited the United States, with a brief transit in Korea and
Qatar during the trip.[48]
On 11 March, Vietnam confirmed their 35th case of

COVID-19, a 29-year-old woman who works in an electronics
supermarket in Da Nang, and had physical contact with two
infected British tourists.[49] Within the same day, 3 more
case were discovered, all are related to patient number
34.[50]
On 12 March morning, Vietnamese Ministry of Health

reported the 39th case of the country. This case is a 29-
year-old tour guide in Hanoi, who had contact with patient
number 24 during a trip to Ninh Binh.[51] Evening of the
same day, five more cases were announced, all are related
to patient number 34.[52]
On 13 March, 3 more cases were announced.[53][54]
On 14 March, 6 cases were announced. Aside from cases

related to flight VN0054 and patient 34, there are 3
unrelated cases: A Vietnamese came back from Paris, a
Vietnamese overseas student who has been travelling
across Europe, and a Czech national.[55]
On 16 March, a new case was reported in Vietnam, known

as the 61st patient. The patient, a Muslim from the Cham
minority, had participated in the Tablighi Jamaat in Sri
Petaling mosque, Malaysia, where he got infected before
returning to Vietnam and attended the Jamiul Muslimin
Mosque in Ho Chi Minh City before returning home in Ninh
Thuận. Due to the wide range of people he contacted, it
raised the fear of the patient being a super spread patient.
Eventually, the Vietnamese authorities decided to isolate
and quarantine the whole province, as well as shut the
mosque.[56][57][58] Subsequently, a new-found case
connected with the man were also discovered the following
days.[59] On 22 March, another case also related to the
Islamic activities is a fellow Muslim who returned from
Malaysia also attended in the same Sri Petaling mosque,
before went back to Vietnam and still did Islamic praying
five times a day in Jamiul Anwar mosque, despite being
asked to quarantine at home.[60]
On 22 March, Vietnam recorded over fourteen new patients,

surpassing over 100 patients for the first time. Many
returned from various countries, including Britain, Malaysia,
and France; which are severely hit by the coronavirus.[61]
On 26 March, 12 more cases were confirmed.[62]

Preventive measures
Coronavirus pandemic phases in Vietnam[76]
Number of
Stage Description
case
Phase 1 (23 January – 25

16 Cases reported are usually people who have had travel history to China.
February 2020)
Phase 2 (6 March – 19 March The virus has spread globally, many cases reported are from other countries but it is
69
2020) still easy to trace spread and quarantine.
Phase 3 (20 March 2020 – Infections in community, many cluster begins to appeared in high-density areas. The
175
ongoing) source of the infection is untraceable.
On 16 March 2020, the Vietnamese government requested that everyone

wear face masks when going to public areas to protect themselves and
others.[77]
The rising number of patients had caused serious concerns.
Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc ordered
measures to prevent and counter the spread of the disease
into Vietnam,[78] as well as to warn Vietnamese citizens to
avoid visiting areas with outbreaks.[79] Deputy minister Đỗ
Xuân Tuyên said that Vietnam is considering closing the
border with China as a necessary countermeasure.[80]
Saigon Tourist announced that it cancelled all tours to or
with transit in Wuhan.[81] On 24 January, the Civil Aviation
Administration of Vietnam ordered the cancellation of all
flights from and to Wuhan.[82][83]
In February 2020, Vietnamese Ministry of Education and

Training suspended all school activities across the country
until the end of March as part of quarantine measures
against the spreading of the virus, and later extended this
till the middle of April until further notice.[84] Aggressive
measures were also taken to combat possible outbreaks,
from 14 days quarantine to restriction of outdoor activities
(some sources believe it was more than 20 to 40 days under
quarantine),[85] the Vietnam People's Armed Forces also
takes part on patrolling and controlling measures.[86]
Rumours also spread that Chinese nationals fled to Vietnam

from Guangxi from a video, which triggered public reactions
that Chinese nationals might be escaping from the
coronavirus outbreak. It was later denied by the Vietnamese
and Chinese governments as misleading. The Agence
France-Presse also condemned the footage as fake.[87]
South Korean nationals are also reportedly screened due to

the rampant outbreak of COVID-19 in South Korea, which
has extensive trade relationship with Vietnam.[88][89]
On 31 March 2020, Vietnamese government ordered a

nationwide isolation of 15 days from 1 April to 15 April.[90]
Impact and response
Stockpiling
Stores across Vietnam quickly sold out of surgical masks

and hand sanitisers after the initial cases of coronavirus
were reported. This followed a similar trend in many other
Asian countries.[91] Interim Health Minister Vũ Đức Đam
urged the public to remain calm during the outbreak and
avoid excessive emergency shopping.[92] Vietnamese
authorities also arrested people profiteering from the
outbreak.[93]
Economy
Like most of the world's economy, Vietnam was hit hard by

the outbreak, due to the slowdown of private and national
industries, the downturn of stock exchanges and the lower
number of incoming tourists, although Vietnam is expected
to be harmed less than China.[94]
Sport
The outbreak also forced the 2020 V.League 1 to be delayed

to 7 March until further announcement, which affected the
preparation of Vietnam national football team for the
upcoming 2022 World Cup qualification.[95][96] It also
caused the Vietnamese Grand Prix of the 2020 Formula One
World Championship to be postponed until further notice.
[97][98]
Response
Vietnam has prepared for the epidemic as early as the very

first case in China emerged, around mid-December 2019.
Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister Vũ Đức Đam stated that
the public service, military forces and Ministry of Health
have worked out various plans in case there was an
outbreak.[99] The Deputy Prime Minister added that the
country "has won the first round" in the fight against the
virus with 16 confirmed cases, 16 recoveries, and 0
deaths.[100]
The Vietnamese response has been praised by several

figures, comparing it to the fast response back in 2003
when Vietnam became the first country to be cleared of the
SARS outbreak. The United States Ambassador to Vietnam,
Daniel Kritenbrink, had praised Vietnam for its fast
measures against the outbreak.[101] The US delegation also
praised Vietnam for its quarantine efforts, and have
cooperated with the Vietnamese Embassy in the United
States.[102]
However, Vietnam also received criticism for its response.

President of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Nguyễn
Thành Phong, admitted the lack of facilities and said that if
the city has to take over 1.000 patients, it will go past its 'red
limit'.[103] Overseas Vietnamese accused the government of
not being pro-active enough and censorship.[104]
Xenophobia and non-compliance with self-isolation

orders
The Asia Times reported that "A number of Vietnamese

hotels and guesthouses have reportedly hung signs on their
doors saying that Chinese guests are not welcome, while
many Vietnamese have gone online to demand the closure
of all border crossings with China."[105] Signs suggesting
that Chinese customerswere not welcome were seen in
front of a shop in Phu Quoc and a restaurant in Da
Nang.[106]
Anger was also reported due to the increasing number of

the infected cases coming from the Muslim community
returning from Malaysia following their attendance of the
Tablighi Jamaat festival in Sri Petaling mosque, and two to
three patients did not obey the self-quarantine law in
Vietnam and still attended Islamic events in Ho Chi Minh
City, leading to fury and demands to imprison the Muslim
population, even among Vietnamese celebrities.[107]
In popular culture
Vietnam's National Institute of Occupational and

Environmental Health commissioned artists to release the
song "Ghen Cô Vy" ("Jealous Coronavirus") which
recommended correct handwashing technique[108] and was
a remake of 2017 song "Ghen" (Jealous) . It has gone viral
amidst the coronavirus outbreak, first earning praise from
John Oliver in his talk show Last Week Tonight with John
Oliver and has become increasingly popular among public
and frequently duplicated by netizens, with UNICEF
recommending the video as a means of fighting back the
fear of coronavirus.[109][110]
