Foreign and overseas Vietnamese religious followers in foreign countries, especially in pandemic zones should refrain from migrating into Vietnam. All migrants should be isolated for 14 days as regulated. Deputy Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Ngo Minh Chau, said: “The municipal authority has instructed religious facilities to perform rituals as usual but preventive measures such as face mask wearing and hand sanitization must be respected.”
