Ministry of Health issues regulation on supervision of new arrivals
VOV.VN - The Ministry of Health have implemented a document aimed at temporarily supervising new arrivals to the country by monitoring and testing them in order to promote both efforts to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and boost economic development.
The latest regulation comes into force following Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s directive regarding permission for foreign citizens to work in the nation.
In line with the move, the Ministry of Health has requested that ministries, ministerial-level agencies, governmental agencies, and both provincial and municipal People's Committees carry out all necessary procedures. This will involve evaluating the implementation of COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures throughout the entrants' stay in the country, in addition to reporting the results to the Ministry of Health.
Guidance regarding the temporary supervision of people entering the nation is applicable to individuals who arrive for the purpose of work for over 14 days. This includes foreigners holding diplomatic and official passports, investors, highly-skilled workers, business managers, international students, and foreign relatives of Vietnamese citizens who originate from countries where the pandemic has been brought under full control.
The regulation also includes medical check-ups before arrivals, with further checks upon entry and relevant quarantine facilities or places of residence.
