Association of public health interventions and COVID-19 incidence in Vietnam, January to December 2020

As of June 2021, more than 182 million COVID-19 cases and nearly 3.9 million deaths related to COVID-19 have been reported globally (World Health Organization 2021). Various public health measures were implemented at different stages across the world, with varying success (Liu et al., 2021, Flaxman et al., 2020, Li et al., 2021). China successfully contained the outbreak through strict lockdown measures (Pan et al., 2020, Tu et al., 2020). High-income countries like New Zealand, Australia or Taiwan came close to elimination of community transmission for several months during 2020 through strict border control and extensive contact tracing (Summers et al., 2020).
