German, Italian media praise Vietnam’s social unity in battling COVID-19
(VOVWORLD) - German news agency DPA on Monday said that Vietnam's response to the COVID-19 pandemic offers lessons to other nations struggling to contain the outbreak, adding that Vietnam's success is due in large part to its social unity.
The DPA quoted WHO Representative to Vietnam Park Kidong as saying that Vietnam responded to this outbreak proactively and at an early date with a combination of early decisive action, extensive testing, vigorous quarantining, and social unity. The DPA said the course of the pandemic will be determined by the actions that countries, including Vietnam, are taking now.
On Monday, Australia’s news site 7news.com.au posted an article written by Chris Humphrey and Bac Pham of the Australian Associated Press (AAP) which said that Vietnam has so far avoided the devastation of the COVID-19.
