Vietnam faces the second outbreak of Covid-19. Although we have been and have controlled the epidemic well so far, economic sectors such as tourism, services or entertainment have clearly encountered many difficulties.

The Zoo and Botanical Garden (HCMC) is one of the public entertainment venues which has been severely affected by the epidemic. In the previous translation, this park had to be closed without visitors for 2 months, resulting in a sharp drop in income. Not in time to recover, when the second outbreak erupted, Thao Cam Vien continued to face difficulties due to the lack of visitors.
