Abstract

The second wave of COVID-19 in Vietnam started in the largest tourist city in the country (Da Nang), initially with nosocomial transmission which spilled over and resulted in widespread community transmission. We discuss the challenges and strategies to prevent a further nationwide outbreak.

Keywords: Asia; SARS-CoV-2; community transmission; non-pharmaceutical interventions; nosocomial transmission; second wave; travel.
