All people entering Vietnam must carry out mandatory medical declarations. Those who provide false declarations will be strictly punished in accordance with the law.
On March 11, the National Steering Committee for the Prevention of Corona virus (Covid-19) had a meeting under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, Head of the Committee.
At the meeting, on the current situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in Vietnam and the world, the Steering Committee members agreed to strictly control the entry of people into Vietnam. Accordingly, all people entering Vietnam must carry out mandatory medical declaration. Those who provide false declarations will be strictly punished in accordance with the law.
Even foreigners who enter Vietnam with mandatory medical declarations which are not in compliance with Vietnam’s regulations on disease control will be subject to administrative sanctions, cases of causing infectious consequences for the community will go under criminal proceedings.
Meeting on the Prevention of Corona virus (Covid-19)
Regarding the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic in Europe, besides the unilateral suspension of visa waiver program for 8 European countries, the Steering Committee members also discussed whether or not to report to the authority to apply quarantine to people from these areas.
Regarding this proposal, at the meeting, health experts said that the disease situation in these areas are now very complicated, the number of cases and deaths is rising rapidly, and the climate in Europe this season is also favorable for the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Meanwhile, European people have a habit of freely moving, not wearing a mask, so the risk of infection in these areas is very high. Therefore, it is necessary to apply quarantine to people coming from Europe.
However, there were comments suggesting careful consideration of this solution. Therefore, the Steering Committee assigned the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to decide places considered as Covid-19 epidemic outbreak areas to report to competent authorities for consideration and decision.
All people who enter Vietnam must provide honest medical declarations
