HCMC – People travelling to Quang Ninh Province from Hai Duong Province, Vietnam’s first localities to be hit by the latest Covid-19 resurgence, will neither have to be quarantined nor undergo a Covid-19 test starting today, April 3.

The move is part of measures to restore socioeconomic activities in Quang Ninh in the new normal, after the coronavirus outbreaks in this northern province and its neighboring localities have been brought under control, according to an urgent dispatch approved on April 2 by Nguyen Thi Hanh, vice chairwoman of the provincial government.

People arriving or returning from Hai Duong have to make health declarations and monitor their health conditions at home and must notify the nearest medical center if they develop suspected Covid-19 symptoms.

The authorities also asked State employees, students, workers and local residents to stay fully alert to the possibility of more Covid-19 outbreaks and to regularly practice Covid-19 safety measures.

Since January 28, Quang Ninh reported 61 coronavirus cases. It has not reported any fresh locally-infected case over the past 52 days.
