UNTIL recently, Vietnam battled Covid-19 with no fatalities. And the country, which won praise for its swift and full lockdown, went 100 days before detecting its first locally transmitted case of the coronavirus in April.

Communist authorities were quick to lock down the country after the virus emerged in China, with a rigorous state quarantine and contact-tracing system put in place. Analysts say that the tough response to the pandemic will help the country’s economy and provide a boost to consumer confidence.
