Vietnam is one of the few countries that has successful contained the global pandemic of Covid-19. Thanks to an aggressive, targeted testing program, and a centralized quarantine system, Vietnam has contained infections numbers to 352 cases, with no reported death.

Despite a successful campaign of controlling the outbreak, Vietnam has no plans of allowing international tourist as of yet.

"There is no story of rushing to open the doors," Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said in a statement posted to the government website on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.

"Vietnam is not yet ready to welcome back international tourists. Foreign experts, high level workers and investors into Vietnam are welcomed but will be closely monitored."

Vietnam has been allowed highly skilled foreign experts to enter Vietnam, but they are being screened and quarantined as a primary pre-caution.

For the past two months, Vietnam has reported no transmission of the coronavirus. Vietnam said it is planning to resume flights to some virus-free countries that had registered no cases of coronavirus for 30 days or more.
