Due to the increased number of infections, the airport in the capital Hanoi is pulling the emergency brake and is stopping all international entries for the time being.

That should initially apply for seven days, how aero.de reported. International departures would be carried out as planned. Since March of last year, only Vietnamese citizens, diplomats, investors and other people with special permits have been allowed to enter. But they have to quarantine for 21 days in special facilities.
