During the flights, strict security, safety and epidemiological measures were strictly carried out to ensure the citizens’ health and prevent the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.
All passengers and crew members on the flights had their health checked and sent to quarantine in line with regulations right after landing at Tan Son Nhat international airport in Ho Chi Minh City.
In the coming time, more repatriation flights will be conducted to bring home Vietnamese citizens in disadvantaged circumstances abroad depending on citizens’ wishes, the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine capacity at home./.
