Zero-VND minimarts are familiar to the poor in many cities Over the past month, the city has temporarily closed wholesale markets and traditional markets, as well as some supermarkets and convenience stores. Thus, people have flocked to remaining supermarkets and mini grocery stores to purchase food and necessities, causing an overload for modern retail channels. There have been long queues of customers waiting at supermarkets and convenience stores to buy food and essential products, with much of the food being sold at higher prices. To address the issue, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade (DoIT) has called for businesses in different fields to develop a flexible supply chain of food and necessities to serve the demand of local people. Accordingly, a number of businesses transformed their outlets into price-stabilisation points including many Vinmart grocery stores, 150 Con Cung mom-and-baby stores, 67 Guardian beauty and healthcare stores, and 300 Pharmacity …

The Vietnamese Government has asked all southern cities and provinces to flexibly apply proper measures under Directive 16 that imposes stay-at-home order and bans non-essential activities.

The ministry said since the pandemic broke out, Vietnam has received valuable support from people and Governments of foreign countries, as well as international organisations. The medical supplies have helped the country sail through waves of Covid-19 outbreaks, it noted. Given the complex developments of the pandemic, the Vietnamese Government has considered vaccine access and widespread inoculation a crucial, urgent solution. Therefore, Vietnam has stepped up “vaccine diplomacy,” with the engagement of Party, State, Government and National Assembly leaders, and ministries, and agencies. Such efforts paid off as the country has received the warm response from partners, neighbours and international friends that have committed up to 150 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines, despite a global shortage of vaccines. Vietnam has so far got more than 8 million doses from foreign countries and partners, of which 4.5 million doses were channeled through the COVAX Facility, with 2 …
