training to the 63 provincial-level localities nationwide on the application of
a software managing people entering Vietnam.

Viewed as highly important for COVID-19 prevention and control, the software
helps manage people entering Vietnam from when they fill in
to the time they are under quarantine or exit the country.

checks via an automated phone system. It also assists the National Steering
Committee for Prevention and Control in knowing their movements in
Vietnam.

After filling in health declarations, each person entering the country will be
given an access code and QR code. While the access code is for updating their
information on the Vietnam Health Declaration app on smartphones, the QR code
can be used at ports of entry and quarantine facilities or shown to
authorities.

including 786 cases of community transmission. Some 1,430 patients have
