> Vietnam has become one of the first few countries in the world to emerge successfully from the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak It's even more impressive: they emerged successfully not just from the first wave (direct from China, with which they share a long land border), but the second wave as well (travelers from Europe, US, Iran etc). Quite a few countries, notably Singapore, rode the first wave well but stumbled on the second.
