As many as 1,930 Vietnamese citizens are repatriated from three continents from October 5-11. |
Precautious measures were implemented during the flights to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
Right after arriving at local airports, all the passengers received check-ups and were sent to concentrated quarantine sites in line with current regulations on COVID-19 responses.
From April 10 to October 11, local agencies coordinated with Viet Nam’s representative agencies overseas to launch 155 flights, bringing home about 44,492 Vietnamese citizens stranded abroad due to COVID-19.
In the time to come, more repatriation flights will be arranged to bring Vietnamese citizens home, depending on their demand and domestic quarantine capacity./.
