WHAT DOES BEING A “MODEL COUNTRY” FOR #COVID19 RESPONSE REALLY MEAN? Three things: mass quarantine, aggressive contact-tracing, and mass testing—all of which Vietnam has successfully implemented with limited resources.

To date, Vietnam has reported only 324 positive cases, 267 of which already recovered while having no fatality. No province in Vietnam is seen as “highly prone” to the pandemic.
How did the Vietnam government respond to #COVID19?

The model country certainly did not downplay the virus.

Classes were immediately suspended after the first two #COVID19 cases in Vietnam were registered.
As of April 30, Vietnam already conducted 261,004 tests. Nearly 800 people were tested for each new case confirmed.
Due to their successful management of the pandemic, Vietnam is slowly resuming business operations. The government has also ended the social isolation guidelines in some areas last April 22.

That is what a “model country” in combating #COVID19 means.
