On 27th May 2021, Saigon\u2019s Tan Son Nhat International Airport announced its ban on all international inbound flights until 4th June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither commercial nor repatriate flights may arrive at the airport, on the grounds that the COVID-19 pandemic is escalating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Saigon imposes stringent COVID-19 restrictions from 28th May 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Given the recent spike in domestic cases<\/a> in Ho Chi Minh City, stringent safety measures should be implemented to curb the virus’s spread.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though social restrictions can bring about inconveniences, they still function effectively to curtail the increasing COVID-19 caseloads.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope that the new measures will be good for all of us in the long run. Until then, hang in there and stay safe.<\/span><\/p>\n
