Currently, Da Nang, Hai Duong, Hanoi, Quang Ninh, and Ho Chi Minh City are the 5 leading localities in the country in terms of the percentage of Bluezone users in terms of the total population.

Bluezone is currently the most effective technology solution to prevent and combat Covid-19. Bluezone is an application that records contact history, thereby providing early warning and helping to accurately trace people suspected of being infected with Covid-19. The effectiveness of Bluezone has been proven when this application helps health authorities trace thousands of suspected cases of close contact with infected people or new suspected infected people. Notably, 17 positive cases were found thanks to Bluezone during the second outbreak in Hai Duong in January 2021. These are all cases found outside of the trace list by normal epidemiological investigation. The advantage of Bluezone is to help detect early cases of close contact with people infected with (suspected) Covid-19 but do not know or have no symptoms of the disease. Bluezone users will therefore be warned early in case they have ever been in contact with a potential carrier. The use of Bluezone in combination with epidemiological investigation methods will help minimize the number of people who have to be isolated. Instead of thousands of people having to go to quarantine for prevention as before, the number of quarantined people will now be reduced to a minimum. According to experts’ estimates, for Bluezone to be effective, the percentage of users of this application must reach at least 60% of the adult population. In Vietnam, 50 million people install and use Bluezone is enough to effectively protect the whole community. Currently, the number of Bluezone users in Vietnam is still low. Therefore, for the application to be effective, it is necessary to have the cooperation of the whole community through downloading and using Bluezone.
