Health declaration apps launched in support of COVID-19 combat
Vietnamese citizens and passengers entering Vietnam are now able to declare their health status via two applications, namely “NCOVI” and “Vietnam health declaration” that were launched in Hanoi on March 9.
This is the latest effort by Vietnam in the fight against the acute respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
Data collected through the apps will enable the domestic health sector to learn about cases in need of medical support in the fastest and most effective manner.
