The Ministry of Health has just reduced mandatory quarantine time to seven days for fully vaccinated travellers and those who clinically recovered from Covid-19 and have negative testing results.
The reduced quarantine time, from 21 days to seven days, is applicable to those entering Vietnam from abroad with valid certificates of full inoculation with Covid-19 vaccines. The second dose must be administered no less than 14 days and no more than 12 months prior to entry.
It will also apply to people who have proof showing their full recovery from Covid-19 issued by the country where they receive treatment.
But in both cases, they will need to have negative lab tests for the virus prior to entry and will be tested on the first day of quarantine (antigen tests) and the seventh day (RT-PCR test) after arrival.
After the seven-day quarantine, they shall be subject to seven-day follow-up health observation.
People who enter the country for trips lasting less than 14 days are not eligible for the pilot policy.
The Ministry of Health also requests all the arrivals to make health declarations and fill in the registered quarantine facilities and subsequent places for self-quarantine on the Bluezone app (available on both iOS and Android) or on the website https://tokhaiyte.vn 36 hours prior to planned departure.
