Covid-19 testing will be taken at quarantine sites from today (March 19)
People entering the country will not have to declare their health and take samples at the airport but will have to do so in quarantine areas.
From this morning (March 19), authorities at Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) will implement a new immigration procedure to ease congestion.
Accordingly, testing and medical declaration will not be organized at the airport for people subject to centralized medical quarantine, but these two tasks will be performed at the quarantine location.
In addition, open more immigration gates, distribute the flow of passengers so that the military can approach passengers early, take passengers and luggage to military vehicles to the quarantine area, with the motto of quick clearance, avoiding the risk of infection at the immigration area, so that the entire immigration process does not last more than 2.5 hours.
