Those who are quarantined because they are contracted an infectious disease, they will enjoy exemption from medical charge, according to a new law issued by Vietnamese government.

Patients who are kept in quarantine in medical clinics will not pay medical fee during 21 days and two days if they are kept in border crossings; however, the new law will not benefit those who are put in quarantine at homes.

In addition, if quarantined patients suffer additional diseases, they must pay examination and treatment charges. But the insurance company will reimburse medical fee for health insurance card holders.
