Over 200 Vietnamese brought home from Singapore
Vietnamese agencies, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore and budget carrier Vietjet Air, in collaboration with Singaporean authorities, worked together to bring over 200 Vietnamese citizens home from Singapore on April 24, including children, the ill, and those in an especially-disadvantaged situation.
All crew-members and passengers underwent health checks and were placed in quarantine after landing at Can Tho International Airport in the Mekong Delta.
In compliance with the Prime Minister’s directions, the Foreign Ministry will coordinate with the Ministries of Health, Transport, and National Defense as well as domestic airlines to arrange more flights to bring Vietnamese citizens in disadvantaged circumstances home amid the COVID-19 pandemic based on the domestic epidemic situation and quarantine capacity.
