Vietnam mobilised participation from its entire political system to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, employing the principle 'Early detection, strict quarantine, isolation as well as active treatment', and achieved some initial successes. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of COVID-19 patients detected in the two phases of the epidemic in Vietnam. Although Vietnam achieved initial success in providing timely treatment to the COVID-19 patients as well as in containing the spread of the disease in the community, further proactive and comprehensive actions to tackle the COVID-19 epidemic in this country must be carried out as the global pandemic proceeds.	./cache/cord-346995-2e84y1hl.txt	./txt/cord-346995-2e84y1hl.txt
