Proposal to stop medical declaration of people entering Tan Son Nhat

Ho Chi Minh City proposed to stop making medical declarations for people entering Tan Son Nhat airport, only requiring self-monitoring of health, declaring via PC-Covid due to the control of the epidemic.

The above content is mentioned in the official dispatch sent by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to the Ministry of Health on April 21, in order to solve the congestion at Tan Son Nhat international station over the past time.

Currently, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Health, people entering by air must have a negative RT-PCR test (except for children under 2 years old) within 72 hours or 24 hours for the rapid test. Before entering the country, guests must make a medical declaration on tokhaiyte.vn. This causes congestion when many flights arrive, because many people make incorrect declarations and have to redo it many times, making the check-in time longer.

According to Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Covid-19 in the area is now basically under control and the number of new cases tends to decrease. Therefore, the suspension of declaration procedures for people on entry makes it more convenient for people and tourists to come or return to Vietnam. As of April 21, the city has only one F0 in concentrated isolation, 6,929 cases are isolated at home and 544 cases are being treated at hospitals.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport said that by the end of April 22 at the airport, there were 582 incoming and outgoing flights. The total number of passengers passing through Tan Son Nhat today is estimated at more than 83,000, most of which are at domestic stations. The international terminal alone has 65 flights with nearly 5,800 passengers.
