When the COVID-19 hit the world, it became more than a simple flu, but became a horrible pandemic that reached almost every nation of the world.

COVID-19 is thought to have originated in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019. Many people lost their lives from COVID-19, but in one country in Asia, the coronavirus was handled quite well. That country was Vietnam.

Although sharing a border with China, and having a population of 97 million people, Vietnam has been much less affected than many other countries in the world.

On April 22, while many countries were heading deep into isolation and closing stages, Vietnam was actually lifting its social isolation measures. The country has reported 349 cases of COVID-19 as of June 20, 2020, and no deaths.

Vietnam was able to accomplish this by using aggressive contact tracing, testing, mass quarantining, timeliness, and the efficient mobilization of state agencies.

This is why you should visit Vietnam in post-COVID-19 times.

Vietnam contained COVID from the beginning
Vietnam managed to contain COVID-19. Although businesses have suffered, especially in the tourism industry, the government has taken care of its citizens.

Safety
Since Vietnam was able to contain COVI-19, this means the economy did not crash, and Vietnamese citizens have not become desperate. Crime has not risen at all, and many industries are thriving.

Set to issue e-visas starting July 1, 2020
According to global visa information, a Vietnamese government resolution has now been passed to resume issuing e-visas. These will be open to citizens of 80 countries and will begin July 1, 2020.

This means if you have been dying to get out of your home country, now is the time to do so in a beautiful and exciting country!

Fewer tourists=less crowds
Out of all industries affected by COVID-19, the tourism industry in Vietnam has been the most affected. Tourism is reported to have dropped 98 percent due to, essentially, no international arrivals since March 25.

After thousands of years of war and 100s of years of colonization, Vietnam still retains its customs and traditions. Almost every day there are indigenous festivals that can be extremely fun to be apart of and experience.
