Travelers should refrain from visiting areas affected by Covid-19 outbreaks and comply with the health guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health before, during, and after their journey.
9 Tips for Ensuring Safe Travel During Covid-19
The WHO has declared Covid-19 a pandemic and urged countries to respond vigorously. The Ministry of Health advises against traveling to countries or regions with outbreaks. For those embarking on domestic trips during this period, travelers should keep in mind the following precautions.
If experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, difficulty breathing, or having contact with infected individuals or suspected cases, travelers should not leave their locality. Necessary actions include self-isolation in a separate room, keeping windows open for ventilation, and maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters from others. Contact the nearest health authority or the Ministry of Health via the hotlines 1900 3228 or 1900 9095. Then proceed immediately to a medical facility to report travel history and undergo examination. Remember to wear a mask while traveling.
According to health experts, properly gargling the throat is the final step to prevent the Covid-19 virus. The correct way is to rinse the solution deep into the throat. Travelers can gargle before going out and immediately after returning to their place of residence. Gargle for about 2 minutes each time, and hold the solution in the throat for about 15 seconds.
If you or your fellow passengers show symptoms suggestive of infection, contact local health authorities or the Ministry of Health directly for guidance and timely support.
After the trip
At the end of the trip, travelers complete health declarations and travel itineraries on the mobile app or website https://tokhaiyte.vn. If signs of illness appear, travelers should voluntarily isolate themselves and seek medical attention at healthcare facilities as step 1.
