The Vietnamese Embassy in the Philippines has cooperated with authorized agencies of the two countries and Bamboo Airway to arrange a flight to bring the citizens back to Vietnam.

They are children, pregnant women, sick persons, students made homeless due to dormitory closures, and tourists stranded in the Southeast Asian nation due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Bamboo Airway took strict measures of security, safety and hygiene and epidemiology during the flight to ensure health for passengers and prevent the spread of the disease.

After the flight landed in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, they all were given check-ups and taken to a concentrated quarantine area.

Domestic authorities and representative agencies of Vietnam abroad continued to advise Vietnamese abroad to abide by the guidance of local authorities, and minimize travel.

They will continue to work together to support Vietnamese citizens in disadvantaged situations abroad in returning home through commercial flights./.
