The COVID-19 pandemic spread to Vietnam on 23 January 2020, when its first known case of COVID-19 was reported.[2]

As of 21 February 2021 the country had 2,383 confirmed cases, 1,717 recoveries, and 35 deaths. More than 1.7 million tests have been performed.[3] Hai Duong, as of February 2021 is the most-affected province with 647 confirmed cases.[1]

Cases

On 23 January, Vietnam confirmed the first two cases of COVID-19, a Chinese man (#1) travelling from Wuhan to Hanoi to visit his son who lived in Vietnam, and his son (#2), who was believed to have contracted the disease from his father. They were hospitalized in Ho Chi Minh City.[4] On 29 January, the son fully recovered and was discharged.[5] His father was discharged on 12 February.[6]

From 17 to 23 April, no new cases were confirmed.[7][8] However, there were reports of cases who tested positive again after being discharged.[9][10] On 24 April, two more cases were confirmed: both were Vietnamese students who came back from Japan and quarantined on arrival.[11]
