The Vietnamese Embassy sent its staff to the airport to help the citizens with check-in procedures.
Security, safety and hygiene measures were rigorously taken during the flight to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Upon landing at Can Tho International Airport in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, all the crew-members and passengers were given medical check-ups and put under quarantine in line with current regulations.
In the time to come, more repatriation flights will be arranged to bring Vietnamese citizens home, depending on their demand and domestic quarantine capacity.
