Health (MoH) has ordered the tightened monitoring of Vietnamese citizens
recently returning from China in the face of the acute respiratory disease
caused by a novel ().
In a dispatch, the ministry stated that
some Vietnamese nationals who returned from China, transited via the neighbouring
country, or went to other countries from China to enter Vietnam within 14 days
have yet to undergo medical examination and quarantine.
Authorities in cities and provinces
nationwide are requested to closely follow the Prime Minister’s order on
COVID-19 prevention and control and conduct quarantine for people and vehicles
of the aforementioned cases to promptly detect suspected infections.
The receipt and quarantine for Vietnamese
citizens from China also need to comply with orders of the PM and guidance of
the ministry.
Police are asked to make lists of local
residents who previously went to China within 14 days before entering Vietnam, then
report to local steering boards for prevention and control of the disease.
Relevant agencies need to update
information regularly and promote dissemination on preventive measures./.
