In May, the Government, the Government Standing Committee, the Prime Minister, and the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control focused on directing, directly inspecting, handling, and organizing the implementation of many drastic, necessary, and appropriate measures to strengthen disease prevention and control. The Deputy Prime Ministers were assigned to hold direct responsibility for overseeing COVID-19 prevention and control in epidemic hotspots, so that the implementation of socio-economic development tasks in localities would not be affected. With the drastic commitment of the whole political system, the active engagement of the business community and the people, in general, Vietnam has managed to bring the situation under control and begin to push back the pandemic in key areas, especially in Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The Government commended and highly appreciated the frontline forces including health, army, and police forces, all levels, and branches, especially localities experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks, who hold a high sense of responsibility, resolutely and actively made high efforts, focusing on disease prevention and control and stabilizing people's lives. The Government also welcomed and recognized compatriots at home and abroad who joined hands, united, and supported the Party and the State in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Government and the Prime Minister requested all levels and branches, especially the frontline forces, and localities to uphold the spirit of "fighting the pandemic like fighting an enemy"; harmoniously, reasonably, and effectively orchestrate disease prevention and combat; combining initiative and breakthrough attacks with fundamental, strategic, permanent, long-term, and decisive defense strategy; taking comprehensive, all-out, fast, strong and effective attacks in outbreak areas with greater determination, superior efforts, and drastic action, to protect people's health and lives; taking people as the subject and the center of all actions, and ensuring the stability and development of enterprises as the most important task at this time. Strictly implement the motto "5K+vaccine" and promote the comprehensive application of technology. Vaccine is viewed as the decisive factor, as such the vaccine strategy must be deployed quickly and effectively.
