Only North-South train in Vietnam remains in operation during COVID-19 epidemic
In implementing the Prime Minister’s Directive No.16 on COVID-19 prevention and control, the railway sector only operates one train for each direction of the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City route.
The train is scheduled to depart at 9.25 pm. But hours earlier, may passengers have arrived at the station to complete medical declarations, body temperature checks and other necessary procedures.
