The repatriation resulted from concerted efforts of different units. Recognising that the pandemic was becoming serious with a high rate of infection and getting out of the control of companies, the MoLISA proposed to the Prime Minister the organisation of a flight to bring all the workers home. Shortly afterward, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc requested an immediate flight to evacuate the Vietnamese citizens from Equatorial Guinea and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ambassadors, and Vietnamese representative offices abroad to do their best to care for all Vietnamese citizens abroad. His direction received a prompt response from sectors and agencies. Various meetings were convened to discuss how to arrange the flight, along with measures to ensure flight safety, epidemiological hygiene, flight procedures, and support for the passengers throughout the flight.
