Background:One hundred days after SARS-CoV-2 was first reported in Vietnam on January 23 rd , 270 cases have been confirmed, with no deaths. We describe the control measures used by the Government and their relationship with imported and domestically-acquired case numbers, with the aim of identifying the measures associated with successful SARS-CoV-2 control. Methods:Clinical and demographic data on the first 270 SARS-CoV-2 infected cases and the timing and nature of Government control measures, including numbers of tests and quarantined individuals, were captured by Vietnam's National Steering Committee for COVID-19 response. Apple and Google mobility data provided proxies for population movement. Serial intervals were calculated from 33 infector-infectee pairs and used to estimate the proportion of pre-symptomatic transmission events and time-varying reproduction numbers. Findings:After the first confirmed case on January 23 rd , the Vietnamese Government initiated mass communications measures, case-contact tracing, mandatory 14-day quarantine, school and university closures, and progressive flight restrictions. A national lockdown was implemented between April 1 st and 22 nd . Around 200 000 people were quarantined and 266 122 RT-PCR tests conducted. Population mobility decreased progressively before lockdown. 60% (163/270) of cases were imported; 43% (89/208) of resolved infections remained asymptomatic for the duration of infection. 21 developed severe disease, with no deaths. The serial interval was 3·24 days, and 27·5% (95% confidence interval, 15·7%-40·0%) of transmissions occurred pre-symptomatically. Limited transmission amounted to a maximum reproduction number of 1·15 (95% confidence interval, 0·37-2·36). No community transmission has been detected since April 15 th .

“…Despite the effort of calculating the economic impacts, the cost-of-illness approach adopted in different studies [4,15,19] is also difficult for economists to interpret the estimated impacts. This is because the first type of cost estimated by the cost-of-illness approach (i.e., disease burden) only reflects the amount of time, activity, or ability that is lost by an individual as a result of dengue-induced death or disability.…”

“…The global growth of dengue in 1970 was mainly due to the pace of controlling the disease vector (i.e., Aedes aegypti) and the inability to catch up with the epidemic's expansion [1,2]. Currently, although the problem is especially critical in countries in tropical regions, such as Malaysia [3], Vietnam [4], and Singapore [5], countries in subtropical regions, such as Taiwan [6] and China [7], are not exempt from an outbreak. In recent decades, the global incidence of dengue has grown dramatically according to the World Health Organization (WHO) [8].…”

“…Due to dengue's significantly negative impacts, many research studies have been devoted to this issue from various angles, which include identifying the determinants of dengue's incidence [11,12], forecasting dengue's incidence [13,14], and estimating the resulting economic burden [4,15]. Publications on estimating the economic burden associated with dengue are few compared to other dengue-related research works primarily because making such estimations is not easy [16].…”

Dengue has long been a public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. In 2015, a dengue outbreak occurred in Taiwan, where 43,784 cases were reported. This study aims to assess the impact of dengue on Southern Taiwan’s economic growth according to the economic growth model-based regression approach recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Herein, annual data from Southern Taiwan on the number of dengue cases, income growth, and demographics from 2010–2015 were analyzed. The percentage of reduction of the average income per capita in 2015 due to the dengue outbreak was estimated. Dengue was determined to have a negative linear economic impact on Southern Taiwan’s economic growth. In particular, a reduction of 0.26% in the average income per capita was estimated in Southern Taiwan due to the 2015 outbreak. If the model is applied alongside other dengue outbreak forecast models, then the forecast for economic reduction due to a future dengue outbreak may also be estimated. Prevention and recovery policies may subsequently be decided upon based on not only the number of dengue cases but also the degree of economic burden resulting from an outbreak.

“…In 2015, the dengue fever epidemic in Tainan City was more serious, with 40,000 confirmed cases and 214 deaths(http://www.cdc.gov.tw/). Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and its symptoms are most common in mild to moderate acute dengue fever, while about 5% of dengue cases develop into serious and life-threatening symptoms called severe dengue fever [3]. In the past five years, the incidences of dengue infection have increased by 30 times, causing a global health disaster.…”

Dengue fever is one of the most common insect-borne diseases in the world, and epidemics mostly occur in tropical and subtropical regions. In the past, the grey multi-attribute decision-making method has been combined with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to predict which areas in southern Tainan may easily trigger dengue epidemics. As many studies have shown that the extent of human communication and active government is crucial in dengue prevention, this study aims to propose dengue prevention and control methods before and after the occurrence of dengue cases. This study found that, when dengue fever cases begin to appear, the relevant county and city government departments must hire vector control companies to carry out regional indoor and outdoor spraying. Before the emergence of dengue cases, the green and sustainable-oriented remediation strategies, as promoted by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), can be adopted. Remediation of soil and groundwater pollution sites can reduce the source of vector mosquitoes, in order that the green environment can achieve sustainable development.
