Vietnam’s Swift & Intelligent Response to COVID-19, All 16 Infected Patients Cured
Vietnam has announced that all 16 infected patients in the country were discharged from hospital and declared cured. World Health Organization (WHO) officials and health experts said the government's swift response to the emergency was crucial in containing the crisis at the early stage.

Vietnam officially declared the coronavirus an epidemic on February 1, when the number of cases in the country rose to six.

The country has activated its response system at the early stage of the outbreak, by intensifying surveillance, enhancing laboratory testing, ensuring infection prevention and control and case management in healthcare facilities, clear risk communication message, and multi-sectoral collaboration," Park, the WHO official, told Al Jazeera.

While efforts were made to eliminate infections behind hospital doors, Vietnam has also suspended classes, extending school breaks to protect students. Millions of students in 63 cities and provinces in Vietnam have not been back to school since the beginning of the Lunar New Year celebration.

After South Korea raised its epidemic alert to the highest level, the Vietnamese Government tightened controls for visitors from the country. Anybody coming from South Korea will have to submit health declarations, and those with symptoms will be quarantined for a minimum of 14 days.

Doctor Duong, deputy director of the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, has been placed in charge of the overall operation of the task force.

On February 13, after arriving in Vinh Phúc, he attended a six-hour training course for more than 200 doctors, nurses and healthcare staff.

That night, in a small room provided by local authorities, Duong and his colleagues worked on guidelines to quarantine suspected cases.

“It was an important, urgent task, so we had no time to lose,” he said.

The task force set up 60 local health groups, each in charge of 20 families in communes where special supervision was needed.

Every day, these groups of both local healthcare staff and members of the task force visited each and every family to take their temperatures and give clear and detailed instruction on how to prevent the epidemic from spreading.

People with suspected symptoms such as coughing or a high fever were taken into quarantine stations.

The most important thing is to stop the epidemic from entering the country again, and if it does, preventing it from spreading,” he said.

“The success depends largely on these two stages – if disease prevention and control is done properly, we won’t have to do anything, or at least, the workload would be much easier to handle. So far, it has been successful,” he said.

First, the doctors are required to treat the symptoms, like fever. Second, the patients are placed on a strict, nutritious diet.

The third step, according to Nguyen, is to closely monitor the oxygen saturation level in the blood of the patients.

While efforts were made to eliminate infections behind hospital doors, Vietnam has also suspended classes, extending school breaks to protect students. Millions of students in 63 cities and provinces in Vietnam have not been back to school since the beginning of the Lunar New Year celebration.

This is what an intelligent response to an emerging epidemic looks like.
