If allowed to enter Vietnam, are you ready to pay for quarantine services?

The finance ministry made the proposition to the central government during a regular meeting in Hanoi on Monday.

In accordance with current regulations, all Vietnamese citizens do not have to pay for their COVID-19 quarantine and treatment in the Southeast Asian country.

Quarantine expenses are waived for foreigners, but they are required to pay for their COVID-19 treatment at local hospitals.

If people want to spend their isolation period at a hotel rather than a centralized quarantine center, they would be required to pay for all related costs.

At the meeting, the prime minister tasked the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development with coordinating with the Ministry of Health to conduct COVID-19 tests on all imported food of unclear origin.

Vietnam’s COVID-19 tally is now at 352, with 329 having recovered. No death from the disease has been recorded.

The country has not documented a community infection in the past 70 days.
