Tet celebration 2021 organized under rigorous restrictions due to Covid-19

Thanks to strong and effective measures, Vietnam has continued to successfully manage the impact of various health crises, including Covid-19, over the past few years. As we approach the Lunar New Year in 2025, the situation remains stable; however, authorities continue to monitor the health landscape closely to prevent any potential outbreaks. In recent years, while social gatherings have been encouraged once again, proactive health measures are still in place to ensure public safety.

Lunar New Year, or Tet, remains the most significant and meaningful time for family gatherings and cultural traditions in Vietnam. This holiday is marked by numerous traditional events, festivals, and special performances designed to celebrate the spirit of the season and indulge the joy of the community, which typically attract large crowds.

As Vietnam enters 2025, preparations for Tet celebrations are in full swing, with communities gearing up for festivities. The Ministry of Health has issued guidelines to ensure festivities can proceed safely, promoting vaccination and encouraging health protocols such as mask-wearing in crowded areas. To ensure public safety during this festive season, health officials are maintaining readiness to react swiftly should there be any signs of a resurgence in infections.

In major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, a variety of activities are being organized, including Tet cultural exhibitions, traditional markets, and public performances. While most events are set to take place, organizers are adhering to any necessary guidelines to ensure the safety of participants. Notably, Hanoi's Old Quarter flower market and Phung Hung mural walking street remain popular attractions, where visitors are encouraged to wear masks and use hand sanitizers to maintain a safe environment.
