The Consular Department under the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be responsible for collecting the list of returnees and then submit it to the National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control. After gaining the Committee’s approval, these flights will be operated, Thang said.

The flights will only land at seven airports namely Van Don (Quang Ninh), Da Nang and Cam Ranh (Khanh Hoa), Can Tho, Phu Quoc, Tho Xuan (Thanh Hoa), and Phu Cat (Quy Nhon).

The arrivals will have to pay airlines for all expenses including airfares, quarantine at hotels, transportation from airports to hotels, three meals/ day, and COVID-19 tests.

Upon landing in Vietnam, entrants will move to selected hotels, pay for services, and undergo the COVID-19 tests here. They will be tested twice after entry and before the compulsory 14-day quarantine period expires (if the first test result is negative).
