After arriving at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport on February 23 night, the couple had their body temperatures checked. The Hanoi Centre for Disease Control found that they had not been to coronavirus-affected areas in the Republic of Korea (RoK).

The coach is scheduled to have a working session with representatives of the Vietnam Football Federation on February 25 on activities of the football squad in the time ahead, as well as preparations for the remaining matches of Asia’s second qualifying round for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Vietnamese squad will meet host Malaysian footballers on March 31. They will play Kyrgyzstan in a World Cup warm-up match on March 26 in Vietnam’s southern province of Binh Duong.

Those who enter Vietnam from the RoK have been officially required to fill out medical declaration forms amid the increase of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the East Asian country, according to the Ministry of Health (MOH).

In order to prevent the disease from entering Vietnam, the MoH has asked the People's Committees of provinces and cities nationwide to direct concerned agencies to apply medical declaration for all people from the RoK entering Vietnam at all border gates and airports.

Medical quarantine measures must be applied if passengers show signs of cough, fever, shortness of breath, and respiratory disease, the ministry said.

The international medical quarantine, preventive medicine, and disease control centres are responsible for printing and distributing medical declaration forms, which are provided free of charge at border gates.

Meanwhile, medical quarantine staff are required to check and store passengers' medical declarations, the ministry added.
