As conditions stabilize, some Vietnamese-owned businesses are gradually reopening, adhering to safety protocols. Workers in agriculture and construction sectors have resumed their jobs with guidance from employers, adapting to security measures. Despite initial anxiety, Vietnamese workers are now accustomed to precautionary practices, such as seeking shelter during sirens.

Educational activities for Vietnamese children have shifted online due to school closures. Parents have set up study spaces at home, ensuring continuity in learning and emotional support.
