Vietnam is a corona-free bubble: Successful control of COVID-19

While the number of COVID-19 cases is increasing globally, rapidly changing on an hourly and daily basis which can be tracked almost in real time, the incidence, infection burden and fatality rates in Vietnam are still low. Vietnam declared COVID-19 a nationwide epidemic on April 1. By October 15, 2020, Vietnam reported 1,122 cases with 35 deaths (WHO 2020). With approximately 97 million inhabitants, the Southeast Asian nation has conducted 12,772 tests/1 million. According to the WHO classification, Vietnam reports transmission from clusters of cases and not by community transmission or sporadic cases. Vietnam lifted its social isolation measures when schools and businesses reopened after International Labour Day, but continued to reduce risk through the mandatory use of face masks. The speed of response was the crucial factor. The Vietnamese government has been instrumental in identifying and demarcating infection clusters and has responded well to the COVID-19 situation and handling of COVID-19 in terms of the WHO test, treat and track approach (T3). For example, COVID-19 reappeared in the city of Da Nang in late July 2020, where the first two deaths of COVID-19 were reported. The entire city was placed under strict lockdown exceeding 45 days. Public transportation was shut down, severely restricting population movements and, thus, stopping the wave of transmissions of COVID-19 in communities. Vietnam has adopted extensive approaches in its intense fight against the pandemic. In particular, it has adopted a fairly good and comprehensive approach from the early stages of the epidemic, as it has begun early identification of contact persons, quarantine measures, timeliness, efficient mobilization of state agencies and a progressive policy of social distancing. Measures to identify those who have been infected or even exposed at airports and quarantine measures have also been efficiently managed to date. The country is very rigorous with its case control …

JCER believes Vietnam will become middle-income country by 2023

Running with the theme of “Asia in the coronavirus disaster: Which countries are emerging”, the report released by JCER is titled, “Asia in the COVID-19 epidemic: Which countries will emerge”. In the account JCER addresses the impact of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, whilst looking at how Asian economies are faring compared to others globally. Based on the damage assessment, the report offers forecasts of economic growth, in terms of real gross domestic product growth rates, economic scale, through nominal GDP, and income per capital, the nominal GDP per capita, of 15 countries and territories across Asia and the Pacific. Most notably, two main scenarios are considered, including a “baseline” or standard scenario in which the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are confined to the current economy. This is in addition to an “aggravated COVID-19 scenario” which affects not only the current situation, but also larger structural trends such as globalisation, urbanisation, and progress in innovation. This standard scenario assumes that the COVID-19 pandemic is a transient event, similar to an earthquake, that will not affect economic structures over the medium term. In line with this assumption only the nation, along with China and Taiwan (China) are on track to maintain positive annual growth rates this year. Indeed, India’s rate is likely to be negative by over 10%, while the Philippines is expected to see a contraction of more than 8%. Hong Kong (China), Thailand, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore are all facing the prospect of their GDP shrinking by more than 6%. Moving forward to 2029, China’s economic scale is forecast to exceed that of the United States, and by 2035, the gap is likely to be roughly equivalent to the size of Japan’s economy. In addition, China’s economic scale, including that of Hong Kong (China), in 2035 could reach a figure of US$41.8 trillion, only slightly less than the combined scale of both the US and Japan at that …
