Just two months after the first case of COVID-19 was discovered in Wuhan, China, it has disrupted the lives of people around the world.

Since the first case was confirmed in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, the coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected the daily lives and socio-economic activities of people around the world in many ways. Vietnam, which borders China, has a high population density but a vulnerable healthcare system, and is fearful of the spread of the epidemic, which the WHO has declared a "pandemic."
