More than 200 Vietnamese people returned from Taiwan on March 25.
This was the first international commercial flight conducted by the national flag carrier since the Covid-19 outbreak. Passengers paid for both air tickets and quarantine fees for Covid-19 prevention following regulations by the Vietnamese government.
To register for the flight, passengers must have certificates showing negative results to SARS-CoV-2 within three days prior to departure, confirmation of a quarantine area in Vietnam, contact-tracing app installed on mobile phones, and health declarations.
After arriving in Vietnam, passengers will be tested again and will be sent to local hospitals and healthcare centres if the results are positive. If negative, they will be sent to the hotels they have registered for and tested for the second time six days later or right after showing suspicious symptoms.
If the second testing comes back negative, they can return home for self-quarantine until the 14th day from arrival.
The flight crew members will also have health check-ups and be quarantined following regulations.
