The 950 people will be isolated at two military camps outside Hanoi for at least 14 days, reported the official Voice of Vietnam Radio.
The report didn’t say when they will return to Vietnam but said they will arrive at Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi and Van Don Airport in Quang Ninh province.
“During the time of quarantine, anyone of them showing symptoms of fever will be transferred to a hospital for treatment,” the report cited Nguyen Viet Thang, Hanoi’s military chief medic as saying.
The government said last week that cross-border trade between Vietnam and China was “not encouraged” and on Sunday announced it would ban all flights to and from China over coronavirus concerns.
Vietnam confirmed an additional case of the new coronavirus on Tuesday, the health ministry said, bringing the country’s total to nine cases./.

Letters That Carried Nation’s Destiny
One of the most heroic chapters in our nation's history is the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country in the 20th century. Miraculously, we can witness this through letters, handwritten and typewritten ones, from General Secretary Le Duan to commanders and leaders in the South. These letters conveyed top-secret orders, supreme directives, political viewpoints, theoretical discussions, and even combat tactics. They were also imbued with the camaraderie of comrades-in-arms, the solidarity of compatriots, and the heartfelt sentiments of a son of Vietnam. These letters were later compiled into the anthology “Thu vao Nam” (Letters to the South), bearing unique and exceptional value for future generations.
