In general, thanks to reasonable government policies and close coordination
between ministries, departments and people. Vietnam performs relatively well in the
prevention of Covid's epidemic 19.
1. Evaluate:
1.1. Domestic:
In general, the issued policies and solutions have a combination of fiscal
policy, monetary policy and other sectoral or social security support policies,
including short-term solutions, mechanisms and policies in a number of
specific industries and fields, groups of fundamental and long-term solutions to
remove difficulties for economic growth, and support people and businesses;
basically consistent with the evolution and impact of the epidemic, similar to
the new approach of many countries around the world, highly appreciated by
the people and business community. The policies are implemented at low cost,
thus do not affect the major balances of the economy, and at the same time,
reserve room to continue developing and implementing solutions in the next
period. As a result, it has made an important contribution to stabilizing the
macro economy, ensuring social security, helping Vietnam achieve a positive
economic growth rate in 2020, maintaining the country's positive economic
outlook in the medium and long term and strengthen people's and businesses'
confidence in the guidelines and policies of the Party and State.
Besides the effectiveness and positivity of the issued policies and solutions, in the
process of organizing the implementation, some limitations and obstacles were also
revealed, such as: 1- The detailed regulations and instructions for the exam some
measures promulgated by the National Assembly and Standing Committee of the
National Assembly are not timely; the implementation of a number of mechanisms
and policies is still slow; 2- The organization and implementation of some policies has
not been effective; disbursement rate is low because the initial stage of applying
conditions and standards is too high, processes and procedures are cumbersome and
inflexible; Information and instructions are not timely, leading to enterprises,
especially small and micro enterprises, and cooperatives being difficult to access and
unsuitable to the needs of enterprises; 3- Many difficulties accumulated up to now are
not only problems of enterprises but have become common problems of industries and
fields. Many current policies are still of immediate response, have a limited
application period, do not have centralized policies for each specific industry or field,
have a large scale, long-term nature in the direction of recovery rather than a short-
term rescue; 4- The implementation of the vaccine strategy is slow and inadequate.

The main reason is due to the complicated and unpredictable progress of the COVID-
19 pandemic, the rapid spread of the Delta variant, which puts great pressure on the
time and workload of promulgating support policies. A number of mechanisms and
policies have not yet fully covered the nature, scale, and urgency of the situation like
the COVID-19 pandemic. The forecasting capacity and database are still weak, while
the competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises still has many shortcomings and
limitations.

2. Recommendation:
Currently, the Vietnamese government has done very well the zoning,
quarantine, and prevention of Covid 19. Although there are many economic
losses, we have taken measures to support from the government. But, we
cannot stay in isolation forever. Socio-economic activities need to return to
normal. So here we will mainly give some recommendations about epidemic
prevention in the long term :
- We must learn to live with the epidemic until there is a Vaccine. It is
necessary to reopen international routes, border gates and economic activities for the
economy to operate normally. But always attached to that are the regulations on
epidemic prevention such as: Regularly washing hands, wearing masks, quarantine
regulations for 14 days after entry are still maintained, ...
- Strengthening facilities is required, and the establishment of field hospitals
and segregated areas are always required to be prepared to respond to epidemics in
case emergencies occur.
- The training of medical doctors and doctors needs to be focused, sending
physicians abroad to study about vaccines of the country which have been prepared
such as: Russia.
- Awareness propaganda for the people always needs to be focused. Avoiding
subjective people, not complying with epidemic prevention rules will bring
unpredictable consequences.
