The news agency noted that the Vietnamese government has acted early by implementing drastic measures against the epidemic, such as the blockade, the tests, the tracing of thousands of people, the separation of patients and the promotion of social separation. assemblies and masks, and update honest information to people. As a result, new infections and deaths stop, and soon life returns to normal.
According to Vox, Vietnam is located close to the wall of China, where the new strain of the corona virus broke out and had limited financial resources, but achieved impressive success in the fight against Covid-19.
Due to its low income and high population density, Vietnam should be vulnerable to the corona virus. But Vietnam still has a low number of cases and no one has died, which is because the government acted aggressively from the start, even before the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 an emergency. global health level.
Vox points to Vietnam’s success by doing three things: try a lot, track a lot, and isolate a lot.
Specifically, Vietnam began testing almost immediately after confirming in January that three people had returned from Wuhan, the source of the outbreak in China, infected. Since then, Vietnam has evaluated almost 300,000 people. This number is small compared to the millions of tests conducted in the US. But it is very high when it comes to the number of positive cases. Not only that, the authorities also carry out massive tests in endemic areas and high-risk areas, such as markets in Hanoi. It works really well because it focuses on evaluating the people involved in the cases and isolating the symptomatic people who will contain the outbreak.
The government also curbed the infection by stopping flights from countries that were soon attacked by Covid-19. People who enter must go through temperature controls and report their health status; if they lie, they will be criminally responsible.
Those who are sick will be isolated for 14 days, but do not have to pay the cost. They are also not allowed to isolate themselves at home because authorities are concerned that the germs will spread to family members.
Furthermore, people strictly follow what health officials recommend and demand, such as social space and masks, to make anti-epidemic measures easier and more effective. Fruit.
Starting this week, students in Vietnam have started to return to school in sequence, and the economy is also on its way to reopening entirely. This demonstrates the level of success in Vietnam thanks to early and drastic action in the campaign against Covid-19.
Vox added that Vietnam achieved success without the need to use superior technology or new measures, but simply to do common things in a very good way.
