CASE

A 15-year-old female from rural Vietnam was transferred from a local hospital to a pediatric tertiary referral center in Ho Chi Minh City, with 3 days of fever and headache. On presentation, she had reduced consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 11—eye response 2, voice response 3 and motor response 6) and was significantly agitated. The patient weighed 49 kg and was lethargic with high fevers, up to 39.5 °C. Other vital signs were heart rate 100 beats/min, blood pressure 130/80 mm Hg, respiratory rate 20 breaths/min and oxygen saturations 100% on room air.

On neurologic examination, she had nuchal rigidity, and Kernig’s and Brudzinski’s signs were not formally tested. There was no focal neurology, including no weakness or sensory changes. Tone, reflexes and coordination were normal. Cardiorespiratory and abdominal examinations were normal and no skin rashes were present. Examination of lymph nodes was normal.

Her past medical history included a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas with metastases to her spleen, for which she had surgical resection of the body and tail of the pancreas and a total splenectomy 3 months before admission. She had not been receiving any postsplenectomy antibiotic prophylaxis or additional vaccinations. She recovered well without complications and surgical scars were healing well.

The patient was vaccinated as per the national childhood vaccination program in Vietnam. She had no sexual or social history which put her at risk of HIV transmission. There was no recent tuberculosis exposure nor recent travel outside of Vietnam or direct contact with farm or domestic animals.

Full blood count showed hemoglobin 12.2 g/dL, white blood cell count 26.12 × 10/L (91.2% neutrophils, 3.8% lymphocytes, 3.9% monocytes, 0.9% eosinophils and 0.2% basophils), platelets 271 × 10/L, CRP 154.2 mg/L and blood glucose 7.1 mmol/L. Lumbar puncture was performed, which showed 2363 leukocytes/µL with 94% polymorphonuclear cells and 6%

Abstract

Despite its low middle-income status, Vietnam has been widely praised for its success in the fight against early waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a low mortality rate of approximately 100 deaths out of a population of less than 100 million by the end of 2020. We add to the emerging literature on COVID-19 effects on the labor market for poorer countries by analyzing rich individual-level data from Vietnam’s Labor Force Surveys spanning 2015 to 2020. We find post-pandemic increases in unemployment and temporary layoff rates alongside decreases in employment quality. Monthly wages declined even as the proportion of workers receiving below-minimum wages substantially increased, contributing to sharply rising wage inequality. Our findings suggest that more resources should be allocated to protect vulnerable workers, especially as the pandemic continues to cause increasingly severe damage to the global economy.

1. Introduction

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on rich and poor economies alike around the world. Yet, despite its modest status as a low middle-income country, Vietnam has received strong praise for its early fight against the pandemic, which outperformed richer countries with far more developed medical systems (Huynh, 2020, Trevisan et al., 2020, Hartley et al., 2021). In particular, the country’s strict lockdown measures such as banning all commercial flights into and out of the country, rigorous quarantines, social distancing, and stay-at-home orders were regarded as effective and were strongly supported by the public. As a result, while many countries were still grappling with the outbreak, Vietnam mostly had the pandemic in check in 2020. Tracking data from John Hopkins University suggest that by the end of the year, the country registered an extremely low fatality rate of only 78 deaths, an impressive feat given its population size
