How Vietnam managed to keep its coronavirus death toll at zero
When the world looked to Asia for successful examples in handling the
novel coronavirus outbreak, much attention and plaudits were paid to
South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
But there's one overlooked success story -- Vietnam. The country of 97
million people has not reported a single coronavirus-related death and
on Saturday had just 328 confirmed cases, despite its long border with
China and the millions of Chinese visitors it receives each year.
...
...
Vietnam started preparing for a coronavirus outbreak weeks before its
first case was detected.
At the time, the Chinese authorities and the World Health Organization
had both maintained that there was no "clear evidence'' for
human-to-human transmission. But Vietnam was not taking any chances.
...
...
After a three-week nationwide lockdown, Vietnam lifted social
distancing rules in late April. It hasn't reported any local
infections for more than 40 days. Businesses and schools have
reopened, and life is gradually returning to normal.
