HANOI: Vietnam will urge Southeast Asian leaders to set up an emergency fund to tackle the coronavirus at a summit held online on Tuesday , as the pandemic ravages the region's tourism and export-reliant economies.
The situation is mixed elsewhere across the region, with fears that limited testing in Indonesia has played out into the low caseload - and under 400 deaths - for a country of 260 million. Vietnam will use the 10-member summit to propose funding to deal with the pandemic, building emergency medical stockpiles, sharing resources as well as continuing to stress-test ASEAN's responses to future outbreaks.
