However, as of 4 April 2020, in comparison to attempts to containing the  disease around the world, responses from Vietnam are seen as prompt and  effective in protecting the interests of its citizens, with 239 confirmed cases and no fatalities. This study analyzes the situation in terms of Vietnam’s policy response, social media and science journalism. A self-made web crawl engine was used to scan and collect official  media news related to COVID-19 between the beginning of January and  April 4, yielding a comprehensive dataset of 14,952 news items. The  findings shed light on how Vietnam—despite being under-resourced—has  demonstrated political readiness to combat the emerging pandemic since  the earliest days. Timely communication on any developments of the  outbreak from the government and the media, combined with up-to-date  research on the new virus by the Vietnamese science community, have  altogether provided reliable sources of information. By emphasizing the  need for immediate and genuine cooperation between government, civil  society and private individuals, the case study offers valuable lessons  for other nations concerning not only the concurrent fight against the COVID-19 pandemic but also the overall responses to a public health  crisis.
