HÀ NỘI — Over 270 Vietnamese citizens were flown home from Russia on a repatriation flight by Bamboo Airways late Saturday as a joint effort of competent authorities of both nations.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Russia sent staff to help the citizens with pre-departure procedures at the airport in Vladivostok.

Security, safety and hygiene measures were followed during the flight to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Upon their arrival at Cần Thơ International Airport in the city of the same name, all the crew members and passengers were given medical check-ups and put under quarantine in line with regulations.

More repatriation flights will be arranged to bring Vietnamese citizens home, depending on their demand and domestic quarantine capacity. — VNS
