HÀ NỘI — More than 340 Vietnamese citizens have returned home safely from the US and been quarantined upon arrival.

On Wednesday and Thursday, Vietnamese authorities and representative agencies in the US, Vietnam Airlines and US authorities worked together to bring back home the citizens from San Francisco Airport.

Việt Nam’s representative agencies in the US actively assisted the citizens, many of whom had to come from distant places. They also sent staff members to the airport to help them complete boarding procedures.

Security, safety and disease prevention measures were seriously carried out during the flight.

After the plane landed at Nội Bài International Airport in Hà Nội, all people on board received check-ups and were sent to concentrated quarantine sites. — VNS
