He wrote that Vietnam has been taking control of the situation, achieving initial positive results with 50 percent of the infected people making a full recovery and, especially, no deaths so far, which has been highly valued by the WHO and the international community.

Such results are thanks to the participation of the entire political system from the central to local levels, and the solidarity to act together of the whole nation.

The Prime Minister highly valued the overseas Vietnamese community’s practical support and sharing, both materially and spiritually, for the prevention and control of the pandemic in the country in recent times. Those actions reflect the tradition of solidarity, patriotism, humanity and overcoming difficulties of our nation and our people.

The Prime Minister urged overseas Vietnamese to continue to unite, join hands and stand side by side with the country and the people at home to combat the pandemic, as well as uphold the spirit of 'protecting yourself is protecting your family and society', while strictly complying with preventive measures and regulations of the host countries, especially social distance and travel restrictions.
