Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s competent agencies and embassies
in France, Morocco and Chile, Vietnam Airlines, and authorised agencies of the
three host nations have coordinated to arrange a flight to repatriate close to
280 Vietnamese citizens on September 8 and 9.
The passengers included children under 18, the elderly, students completing
their learning courses and facing accommodation difficulties, stranded tourists,
and workers with expired visas and labour contracts.
Vietnamese missions have assisted the citizens in completing procedures to
travel to gather in Paris. Security, safety and hygiene measures were carried
out throughout the flight to protect their health and prevent the spread
of COVID-19 pandemic.
Right after landing at the Tan Son Nhat international airport in Ho Chi Minh
City, the passengers and crewmembers received health check-up. They were sent to
concentrated quarantine facilities in line with regulations.
In the future, more flights are set to be conducted to repatriate Vietnamese
citizens with disadvantaged circumstances, depending on their need and
quarantine capacity at home./.
