No need to test if you have had 1 dose of vaccine
Accordingly, the organization of passenger transport is based on the risk assessment level and applicable level.
In very high-risk localities/regions (level 4): stop public passenger transport (except taxis, technology vehicles with less than 9 seats with partitions from passengers, electronic payments). In case passenger transport vehicles have a mandatory route, they are not allowed to stop or park.
In high-risk localities/regions (level 3): public transport by road, rail, inland waterway, and maritime is allowed to operate at or below 50% capacity (trips/trips or number of seats on vehicle).
In low-risk (level 1) and medium-risk (level 2) localities/regions: means of transport are allowed to operate normally.
Passengers participating in air, rail, and maritime transport (except for routes from shore to island) must comply with the "5K Message"; declare health according to regulations of the Ministry of Health; test for Covid-19 with negative results within 72 hours (from the date of receiving the results) by RT-PCR or rapid antigen test. Testing is not required for people who have received 1 dose of vaccine after 3 weeks or have received a full dose of vaccine or have recovered from Covid-19 within 6 months.
With aviation:Mining frequency is carried out in 4 stages.
Phase 1 (maximum 10 days from the date of application of the guidance): frequency on each route with each airline does not exceed 50% compared to the average of the first 10 days of April 2021 of that airline, with seat spacing on the plane.
Phase 2 (maximum 10 days from the end of phase 1): frequency on each route with each airline does not exceed 70% of the average of the first 10 days of April 2021 of that airline, no seat spacing on the plane.
Phase 3 (implemented from the end of phase 2): frequency on each route with each airline does not exceed the average frequency of the first 10 days of April 2021 of that airline, no seat spacing on the plane.
Phase 4 (new normal): exploitation returns to normal.
By road:Drivers and service staff must be tested for Covid-19 if they have a cough, fever, difficulty breathing or have related epidemiological factors. These people must be tested for Covid-19 weekly or fully vaccinated depending on the area with different risks...
For intra-provincial passenger vans, buses, taxis, contracts, tourism, and student transportation: the Department of Transport will advise the Provincial People's Committee to decide based on the risk level in each location.
For inter-provincial passenger buses: the Department of Transport at both ends of the route consulted the Provincial People's Committee to allow the operation to resume; based on the Covid-19 epidemic situation in the locality, the two Department of Transport agreed to apply the frequency of operation according to the risk level of each location.
With railway:Train drivers and service staff on trains must follow epidemic prevention regulations depending on the epidemic level of each locality, such as bus and taxi drivers...
Based on the Covid-19 epidemic situation in localities and on the basis of consensus of the People's Committees of provinces with railway stations (departure and arrival), the Vietnam Railway Authority decided to apply the number of operating trains and stations to pick up and drop off passengers on the journey to ensure the principle of operating frequency corresponding to the risk level of each locality and region.
For maritime (passenger routes from shore to island):Crew members and ship attendants must be tested for Covid-19 (by PCR or rapid antigen test) when they have cough, fever, difficulty breathing or related epidemiological factors; in localities and areas with medium and high risk, testing must be done every 7 days.
Regarding the frequency of operations and the number of seats on board, based on the consensus of the Department of Transport based on the local epidemic situation, the Vietnam Maritime Administration will decide to apply the number of operating trips or the number of seats on board according to the risk level of each locality/region.
With inland waterways:Crew members and ship attendants must take precautions against the epidemic, just like on the passenger transport route from shore to island. Based on the local epidemic situation, the Department of Transport at both inland waterway terminals will decide to apply a unified number of trips and seat spacing ratio corresponding to the risk level of each locality.
