Hanoi has proposed that the Ministry of Transport continue to suspend railway passenger transport to the capital city, as well as flights on other routes to the capital city's Noi Bai airport.
The city will continue to evaluate the pandemic risks based on COVID-19 vaccine coverage in order to make further adjustment to transport plans.
In order to ensure safety, Hanoi also proposed a number of measures on passengers arriving in Noi Bai International Airport.
The passengers must show a certificate of full vaccination with the second dose taken at least 14 days and no more than 12 months before departure time, or a COVID-19 recovery certificate issued within 6 months before departure time.
They should have negative COVID-19 test certificate issued within 72 hours before departure time, while implementing the Ministry of Health’s 5K message.
These passengers will be subject to seven-day quarantine at designated sites or hotels in Hanoi and pay for all quarantine and testing fees.
After undergoing the mandatory quarantine period, these passengers will have to self-monitor their health at home for another week.
Similar requirements are also given to passengers from Da Nang. However, they are allowed to isolate themselves at home or place of residence for seven days and get tested for COVID-19 on the 1st and 6th day upon arrival.
They are requested to continue self-monitoring their health at home or place of residence for one subsequent week.
As of October 8, the capital city has injected over 8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to local residents (97.8 percent of the population over 18 years old and 70.9 percent of the overall population) with over 2.14 million people receiving full two shots./.
