New regulations for those entering Vietnam

New regulations on the prevention and control of Covid-19 for people entering Vietnam have been issued by the Ministry of Health. Visitors with a negative Covid test will enjoy quarantine-free travel from day one. However, they will have to present proof of a negative SARS-CoV-2 test (except for children under two years old), conducted within 72 hours prior to departure for RT-PCR/RT-LAMP tests or within 24 hours for rapid antigen tests, and the results must be certified by authorities in the country where the tests are conducted.
