Vietnam has done a good job of containing the outbreak of COVID-19 over the past time. However, the lifting of social distancing measures may lead to the risk of possible small outbreaks in small communities. Studies show that about 40% of people carry the virus but do not have any symptom. This poses the risk of outbreaks if people do not take preventive measures.
