Due to covid-19, every country is suffering a lot. This deadly pandemic has affected many nations. Vietnam is also among such countries that have managed to control this epidemic.

After one to two months, things started to go back to normal. All businesses were allowed. People were very happy that they defeated the pandemic. Vietnam is among those blessed countries that were corona free for months. For about 90 days, not a single covid case was reported. Everything was returned to normal but only for a few months.

After all these felicitous moments, Vietnam was hit by a second wave of corona. That second wave was really very tough and hard. Pandemic spread like fire in the jungle. In less than one week, more than one thousand people got infected. This time, lockdown was enforced on a serious note in specific locations around Danang. After severe and tough lockdown, within days, the Vietnamese government contained this pandemic one more time.

Within days, things went to normal. Gradually, everything was returning towards previous normal days. The International Monetary Fund has revised upward its forecast for Vietnam’s 2020 GDP growth to 2.4 percent which is optimistic for the expected growth of the upcoming year.
