Now that Vietnam has adopted a \u2018new normal\u2019 approach, accepting that a \u2018zero covid\u2019 approach is no longer feasible at present, VSLC has updated its COVID-19 policy to reflect the current environment and to ensure that our courses are carried out safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Our mission is to deliver the highest standard first aid, lifesaving and swimming teaching training courses in Vietnam in order to save lives from medical emergencies, injury and aquatic emergencies. We are committed to continuing to operate our training courses in the safest possible way in the current context, and in line with current government regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We have had a few questions about the COVID-19 situation in Vietnam and our courses. At present, VSLC is continuing to deliver training courses normally.

        There have been a small number of cases of COVID-19 infection in Vietnam. VSLC is monitoring the situation and monitoring advice from the Ministry of Health and World Health Organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        At present,\nVSLC are continuing with our operations and training courses without\ninterruption and we anticipate being able to continue to do so. With injury\nbeing the leading cause of death in Vietnam, it\u2019s vital that education around\nbest practice first aid and water safety continues in Vietnam. Preventing cross\ninfection is an important part of our courses at all times.
