This is the spirit of Viet Nam and its people. Until the third week of July, there had been no cases of community transmission since 16 April and 0 coronavirus-related deaths. Here’s the latest:

Total confirmed cases: 847

Active cases: 433

Recovered: 399

Deaths: 15

The government reacted quickly to the new cases in Danang and surrounding areas – the “second wave” – that spread to some other locations, including Hanoi, and people are cooperating. I expect a repeat performance of how Viet Nam handled the first wave of COVID-19, emerging as an international role model.
