The WHO representative in Vietnam said Covid-19 should not be treated as a common illness just yet and basic prevention measures must still be practiced.

 

"It is too early to say that the pandemic is over or to consider Covid-19 as an endemic disease," Kidong Park, WHO representative in Vietnam, said Wednesday. Countries should transition their pandemic response to a sustained management of Covid-19 and longer-term preparedness, he added.

 

While Vietnam has been recording rising number of Covid-19 cases ever since the Tet holiday in early February, most of them are mild and can be treated at home, according to the WHO. The numbers of severe cases and deaths are also dropping, it added.
