The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Vietnam on 23 January 2020.[2] As of 1 April 2020,[update] there were 218 confirmed cases, with 63 recoveries and 0 deaths.[1]
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 economically more behind; though not without controversies.[3][4][5]
Timeline
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.[6] On 24 January, Acting Minister of Health Vũ Đức Đam ordered the activation of the Emergency Epidemic Prevention Centre.[7] On 29 January, the son fully recovered and was discharged.[8] His father was discharged on 12 February.[9]
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.[10][11] Case No. 5 was discharged on 3 February, fully recovered and tested negative with the virus.[12]
February
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).[13] This case was discharged from the hospital on 4 February.[14] 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.[15][16][17][18]
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.[19]
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).[20][21]
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.[22] Mother (49-year-old, #11) and younger sister (16-year-old, #12) of the case No. 5 were also transmitted on 6 February.[23]
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).[24] 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.[25]
On 9 February, a 55-year-old woman, a neighbour of case No. 5, tested positive; the 14th case.[26]
On 10 February, three more cases: #4, #5 and #9 were declared to be recovered.[27]
The 15th case was identified on 11 February, a 3-month-old grandchild of case No. 10.[28]
On 13 February, father of case No. 5 was tested positive, making the number of cases in Vietnam 16.[29]
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.[30] However, quarantine measures continue to be imposed until further notice.[31]
March
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.[32] 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.[33][34] The incident also sparked a wave of stockpiling purchases across the city.[35]
On 7 March afternoon, a 27-year-old Vietnamese was put into quarantine in Ninh Binh Province, after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, making this the 18th case. The patient had been in Daegu for several days.[36] Just 2 hours later, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health confirmed 2 more cases, both related to the 17th case.[37]
On 8 March, another case in Hanoi was announced, which was a 61-year-old man.[38] 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.[39]
On 9 March evening, a 49-year-old British man was put into quarantine in Quảng Nam Province, related to patient number 17.[40]
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.[41] Later that day, another British man was found infected with the virus, who was on the same flight with case #17.[42] 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.[43]
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.[44] Within the same day, 3 more case were discovered, all are related to patient number 34.[45]
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.[46] Evening of the same day, five more cases were announced, all are related to patient number 34.[47]
On 13 March, 3 more cases were announced.[48][49]
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.[50]
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.[51][52][53] Subsequently, a new-found case connected with the man were also discovered the following days.[54] 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.[55]
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.[56]
On 26 March, 12 more cases were confirmed.[57]

Preventive measures
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,[72] as well as to warn Vietnamese citizens to avoid visiting areas with outbreaks.[73] Deputy minister Đỗ Xuân Tuyên said that Vietnam is considering closing the border with China as a necessary countermeasure.[74] Saigon Tourist announced that it cancelled all tours to or with transit in Wuhan.[75] On 24 January, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam ordered the cancellation of all flights from and to Wuhan.[76][77]
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.[78] 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),[79] the Vietnam People's Armed Forces also takes part on patrolling and controlling measures.[80]
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.[81]
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.[82][83]
Impact and response
Stockpiling
Stores across Vietnam were 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 due to the outbreak.[84] Interim Health Minister Vũ Đức Đam urged the public to remain calm during the outbreak, and to avoid excessive emergency shopping.[85] Vietnamese authorities also arrested people using the outbreak to profiteer.[86]
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, though Vietnam is expected to be harmed less than China.[87]
Sport
The outbreak also forced 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.[88][89] It also caused the Vietnamese Grand Prix of the 2020 Formula One World Championship to be postponed until further notice. [90] [91]
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 Government Office, Army forces and Minister of Health have worked out various plans in case the number of affected cases burst out.[92] 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 death.[93]
Vietnamese response has gathered praises from several figures, comparing it to the fast Vietnamese response back in 2003 when the SARS outbreak occurred when Vietnam became the first country to be cleared of SARS. United States Ambassador to Vietnam, Daniel Kritenbrink, had praised Vietnam for its fast measures against the outbreak.[94] US delegation also praised Vietnam for its quarantine efforts, and have cooperated with the Vietnamese Embassy in the United States.[95]
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'.[96] Overseas Vietnamese accused the government of its passive reactions and censorship.[97]
Racism and xenophobia
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."[98] Signs suggesting that Chinese customers are not accepted were seen in front of a shop in Phu Quoc and a restaurant in Da Nang.[99]
Islamophobia was also reported due to the increasing number of the infects coming from the Vietnamese Muslim community returning from Malaysia following their attendance to the Tablighi Jamaat festival in Sri Petaling mosque, and two to three patients did not obey the self-quarantine law in Vietnam but still attend Islamic events in Ho Chi Minh City, leading to fury and demand to imprison the Muslim population, even among Vietnamese celebrities.[100]
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[101] and was a remake of 2017 song "Ghen" (Jealous), has gone viral amidst the coronavirus outbreak, first earned praises from John Oliver in his talk show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and became increasingly popular among public and frequently duplicated by netizens, with UNICEF recommended the video to fight back the fear of coronavirus.[102][103]
