Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has been going on for more than three years, and the international community has coped relatively successfully. Perhaps never before has the world devoted so much resources and energies to fight a pandemic as such. During the pandemic and until now, many studies have appeared focusing on comprehensive lessons, aiming to improve the current situation and to withstand unavoidable pandemics in the future. There are common agreements on the most important lessons. The article discusses international lessons learned of fighting the pandemic and suggests some implications for Viet Nam.
