More than two million Vietnamese living abroad are said to have some sort of connection to Ho Chi Minh City right now, whether it be through family ties, cooperation, employment, or regular stays. The majority of expatriate Vietnamese who get in touch with the City live, work, and attend school in more industrialized capitalist nations like the United States, Western European nations, Canada, and Australia. In the city, almost 50% of families have Vietnamese relatives who reside overseas.

Our compatriots abroad have banded together, stood shoulder to shoulder, and shared with compatriots in the nation, responding to the call of the Party, State, and Fatherland Front leaders and fostering the tradition of solidarity and mutual affection. This has contributed in a very practical and effective way to the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic in the city.

Currently, the City is working to put into effect Decision No. 3900/QD-UBND of the City People's Committee, Decision No. 128/NQ-CP of the Government, and Directive No. 18/CT-UBND of the Chairman of the City People's Committee on continuing to control and adjust measures to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic and gradually recover and develop socioeconomically in Ho Chi Minh City.
