On 25th July<\/strong>, a man living in \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng was confirmed as Vietnam\u2019s first COVID-19 community transmission case after 100 days<\/strong>. Over the next few weeks, the city continued to record hundreds of new patients<\/strong>, becoming the epicenter of the second outbreak in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Against the concerning developments, the authorities were quick to take action in a bid to curb the spread of the virus. On 28th July, the entirety of \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng was put under a lockdown order<\/strong>, where all public gatherings of more than two people were prohibited, and all non-essential businesses forced to pause operations.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the decisive response to the pandemic, the curve began to flatten toward the second half of August. As of today, \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng has stayed clear of new infections in the community for nearly two weeks<\/strong>, with the latest patient recorded on 29th August.<\/p>\n

Starting from last Saturday, \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng has eased some restrictions, allowing public transportation to resume and restaurants to open for takeaways.<\/p>\n

Since the first COVID-19 case was discovered in Vietnam in January, the country has recorded a total of 1,059 patients<\/strong>. Of these, only 131 are still active cases. All of the new cases reported in the past week have been imported from foreign countries and quarantined on arrival.<\/p>\n

The reopening of beaches and dine-in restaurants will no doubt be a welcomed development for \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng residents who have spent weeks being cooped up at home.<\/p>\n

But for things to stay open, each one of us must do our part to protect ourselves and the community. \u00a0Let\u2019s not forget to adhere to the government\u2019s regulations and refrain from gathering in big groups.<\/p>\n
