No community-acquired infections have been confirmed in Vietnam since November 30th.
Next month, we will have Chinese New Year Tet (February 10th (Wednesday) to 16th (Tuesday)).
Chinese New Year decorations are being made in various parts of the city.

The other day, I went to a cafe at Park Hyatt Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City.
The luxurious lounge cafe, which is hard to believe in Ho Chi Minh City, was filled with foreigners and wealthy Vietnamese in the afternoon.

You can drink coffee at a cafe in the city for 100 yen,
A cup of coffee that you drink elegantly while sitting on a fluffy sofa at the luxury hotel Park Hyatt is about 700 yen!

Even non-guests can easily visit, so why not visit when you can travel to Vietnam?

▶ New Coronavirus Infection Countermeasure "Honor Student" Vietnam

Vietnam is often evaluated as an honor student in suppressing the infection of the new coronavirus. While the number of newly infected people is increasing rapidly in Japan and other parts of the world, the total number of infected people in Vietnam (as of January 2021) is 1,515, of which 1,361 have recovered and became infected in late July 2020. The second wave is hitting the central part, but compared to other countries, the number of infected people is small and the number of deaths is low, but it is kept at a low level.

Vietnam has succeeded in containing the spread of infection, but what is behind the success?

In February 2020, when the new coronavirus began to spread around the world, the Vietnamese government temporarily allowed foreigners to enter Vietnam if they stayed in or traveled to China within the past 14 days. The following month, we implemented social isolation throughout Vietnam.

In addition, we requested that we wait at home to refrain from going out except when it is essential, and we also stopped passenger service by public transportation.

It is said that the swift decision of the government as mentioned above prevented the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

▶ Successive illegal immigrants and new coronavirus infected

According to news at the end of December, about 130 illegal immigrants are found along the Vietnamese border each day.
100 people have been confirmed at the Chinese border, 28 people at the Cambodia border, and 1 person at the Laos border.

Most of the illegal immigrants are those who were stuck abroad due to the influence of the coronavirus.

It has been confirmed that some illegal immigrants tested positive for coronavirus, and it is necessary to strengthen the management system along the border in order to prevent as many illegal immigrants as possible.

Today, I went to the lunch buffet held every Tuesday to Sunday at the atrium cafe in the main dining of the long-established hotel "Lotte Hotel Saigon" in Ho Chi Minh City.

I went before the opening, but some Vietnamese are already waiting for the buffet to start,
By 12 o'clock, it was almost full.

The menu includes appetizers such as fresh spring rolls, sushi, Korean food, and more.
It is an international menu with a wide variety such as Western.
The price of such a luxurious lunch buffet is about 3,000 yen!

Wealthy Vietnamese cannot travel abroad, so more and more people are enjoying the 5-star buffet.
Vietnam is as good as Corona and its economy is good. I realized that.

By all means, when the day comes when you can travel to Vietnam, stay at Lotte Hotel and enjoy the buffet ♪
