According to the Ministry of Health, this decision was made in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic being recorded in most countries around the world, and there are specific and effective vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus strains currently circulating. In addition, recently, the epidemic has also tended to decrease both the number of cases and deaths globally as well as in Vietnam.
This is a decision to relax epidemic prevention and control measures, creating favorable conditions for people and tourists to come to or return to Vietnam. However, the provinces still maintain monitoring of passengers entering the country at border gates according to the provisions of the Law on Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases on border health quarantine.

Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Truong Son said that the domestic health declaration regulation will also be terminated in the near future, but the specific time is currently unknown.
