TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking recommendations for expat groups in Vietnam but is cautioned that Vietnam is currently closed to foreigners, highlighting ongoing restrictions due to COVID-19. Comments note that expat communities in Vietnam are often city-specific, with a suggestion for a Facebook group relating to Ho Chi Minh City.

My family in HCMC is, has been, and appears still will be, locked in the house for a while longer. The end of the month, maybe? No end in sight, it seems.
