When China reported its first death on 11 January from the deadly disease, Vietnam promptly tightened medical control at all border gates and airports, according to local media.
Vietnam has strict contact-tracing measures. Mass testing has been the strategy for many countries in their response to combatting the pandemic. However, in Vietnam, the country has focused more on isolating infected people and tracing their second and third-hand contacts.
Vietnam has successfully conducted tracing via the quick identification of infectious contacts based on the Ministry of Health’s classifications of infected, suspected, and exposed cases of COVID-19 and the rapid mobilisation of health professionals, public security personnel, the military, and civil servants to implement the tracing.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has also introduced a mobile app called NCOVI to allow the public to declare their state of health on a daily basis.
Vietnam has bought 200,000 rapid COVID-19 test kits from South Korea to conduct mass testing.
Key: makes decisions quickly and enacts them promptly.

Vietnam is a socialist country with a single party. Most decisions are unilaterally done.
