Politico mapped the performance of 30 leading countries by plotting their health and economic outcomes and grouping them based on whether they have instituted light, moderate or severe restrictions on commerce and social interactions.

“Viet Nam is the most populous country without a death, with approximately 300 cases recorded among a population of 95 million. Viet Nam’s economy is predicted to grow by 2.7% in 2020, making it the overall best Covid-19 performer globally,” according to an announcement of Politico.

Viet Nam was categorized in the group of light restrictions which allowed most businesses, offices and schools to stay open, sometimes at reduced capacity. Large events have been restricted. Extra cleaning and record-keeping requirements may be in place for those operating businesses and other venues that attract crowds./.
