Vietnamese students in Laos stay calm amid COVID-19 pandemic
Almost Vietnamese students pursuing their study at the National University of Laos in Vientiane have stayed calm and abode by health quarantine regulations rather than return to Vietnam in order to avoid creating a burden on the homeland’s medical system amid the COVID pandemic.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak in China’s Wuhan city in late January, the Vietnamese Embassy in Laos has called on overseas Vietnamese students in Laos to keep close watch on the disease developments and strictly follow prevention instructions and policies of the Ministries of Health of the two countries.
