Covid 19 in Vietnam (01/08/2021)

1. What is the trend with Covid 19 in Vietnam? What

percentage of people who are infected die? What
percentage need to go to the hospital?

The trend of Covid 19 in Vietnam is different from the

beginning. The original Wuhan strain through “battle” has
transformed into new strains like Alpha, Beta, Gamma,
Delta, Delta Plus and more that are unpredictable ahead.
Delta stain is raging in our country, more than others,
youngsters can cause disease even they have health. They
may get disease easier and easier because it spreads
quickly in the atmosphere. Therefore, the number of patients
increases every day.

The percentage of people, who are infected die, is around

0,5-0,8%. Covid 19 waves in Vietnam mainly appear in
industrial areas, most of them are young worker, so the
number of deaths is low. Vietnam has controlled F0 and the
number of ill patients from the beginning. Vietnam has never
had a shortage of oxygen or exhausted medical staff.
Therefore, we have kept the overall death rate from Covid 19
quite low compared to many countries in the world.

Almost all of people in Vietnam, who get Covid 19 in

Vietnam, go to the hospitals. Government and medical
industry always want to do the best things for their dwellers.
So, if someone had Covid 19, the Vietnamese government
would be ready to do treatments.
2. Why do you think we have this outbreak? What should we
do?

As I mentioned above, we have to deal with new strains like

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Delta Plus and more that are
unpredictable ahead. Moreover, Delta strain is the main
reason why we have this outbreak. It is stronger and quicker
than other strains.

We have to do 5K rules, this is really important to get a

normal life and protect ourselves. They are 5 rules:
1. Limit going out as much as possible, only going out when
absolutely necessary.
2. If you must go out, always wear a mask, keep the contact
distance, preferably 2m.
3. Wash your hands often with soap or sanitizer.
4. Regularly clean the house, wash regularly, for ventilation,
healthy living.
5. Make medical declarations, update health status daily,
keep in regular contact with medical staff and medical
facilities.
At the moment, staying at home is saving the country,
according to vice - Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam

For these ways I mentioned, Vietnam will win to Covid 19,

and Vietnam becomes peacefully like before.
