Vietnam normally tops countries for measures that the country took in response to the pandemic.
At the time of writing, the country has recorded 332 cases and zero deaths. Meanwhile, the number of convalescents reached 320, accounting for 96.4% of the total infections.
As of June 11, Vietnam has undergone 56 days without local transmission.
