Flight VN18 was the fourth and last one that the airport had received in its pilot period of welcoming flights carrying passengers with “vaccine passports” to Vietnam. Passengers must prove that they are in a good health condition, fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and show negative testing result to SARS-CoV-2 within 72 hours before departing, and follow all preventive measures throughout the trip. The passengers will undergo seven-day concentrated medical quarantine in line with the Ministry of Health’s regulations at FLC Ha Long hotel. Van Don is the first airport in Vietnam to welcome international flights with seven-day medical quarantine scheme. So far, 943 Vietnamese citizens have been brought home under the programme./.
