The Vietnamese government on Sunday locked down its borders with the Kingdom and imposed a month-long entry ban for any foreign traveler – except accredited diplomats – as the country adopts  measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

 

A letter sent to Prak Sokhonn, Cambodian Foreign Affairs Minister from Chay Navuth, Cambodian ambassador to Vietnam, said: “As of noon on March 15, the government of Vietnam has suspended the issuance of all visas to all foreigners and will deny entry to travelers coming from the UK and the 26 Schengen countries. The entry ban, which will be in effect for 30 days, includes all travelers that have visited or transited to said countries in the past 14 days.”
