Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh assigned the Ministry of Public Security to coordinate with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Information and Communications to unify the use of only one medical declaration application, so as not to cause traffic jams at the Noi Bai International Airport.
In its document, the Ministry of Health announced Vietnamese citizens, overseas Vietnamese, and relatives including spouses and children who have not been vaccinated or have not received enough doses of the Covid-19 vaccine can get free doses of vaccine during isolation if they wish.
Pham Duc Hai, deputy head of the Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control in Ho Chi Minh City, said the city recorded 160 Covid-19 related deaths yesterday. The number was lower than the daily death toll in early August when it hit 340.
