With the aim of swiftly detecting as many as possiblepeople included in the contact list and quarantine them, Vietnam has put thepandemic under control.
However, the country still maintains its strictregulations in the fight against the epidemic, such as closing schools,kindergartens, restaurants and shops that do not provide food and dailysupplies.
Besides, wearing face masks when going out iscompulsory, and any violations will get punishments.
