Event Description

Join this flash briefing to learn from leading businesses in Vietnam what you can do now to maintain your manufacturing operations. Expert panelists from leading companies will discuss specific measures and best practices you can implement to minimize risk and protect workers, and maintain business operations and supply chains.

Vietnam’s fourth wave of COVID-19, which started in industrial parks in Northern provinces, is now centered on Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding region.

Factories throughout the country are taking actions to protect the health and safety of their employees, while maintaining business operations. Vaccines will be a key part of the long-term solution, and AmCham welcomes Prime Minister Chinh’s inclusion of workers in industrial parks as a vaccine priority group to promote Vietnam’s dual goal of controlling COVID-19 and facilitating economic recovery and sustainable growth.

To help prevent or minimize COVID-19 infections in the workplace, many companies are establishing factory “camps” or “sleepovers” in addition to frequent rapid, and tests workplace safety measures, in addition to the 5Ks.
