Tale of Vietnamese-Canadian sexagenarian who allegedly sneaked into Vietnam from Cambodia

[geovalin]

A Vietnamese-Canadian man was quarantined for COVID-19 testing on Monday after he had managed to sneak into Vietnam from Cambodia two days before, against the backdrop of two border jumpers having been confirmed as infected patients recently.

 

The man has been identified as 62-year-old D.V.H., who has an address in Ward 3, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City, Dr. Huynh Minh Truc, director of the Center for Disease Control in the Mekong Delta of Can Tho, said on Monday afternoon. He was already tested for COVID-19 and the result will return later on Monday, Dr. Truc added.

 

H. came to a medical center in Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho on Monday morning to declare his travel history and present other related documents. The Vietnamese Canadian flew from Canada to Taiwan before landing in Cambodia on December 11, according to his report. He was isolated for coronavirus tests upon arrival in Cambodia.

It just goes to show how "porous" borders can be, especially with local help and money!!

Quote from OP:-

 

Listening to advice from some locals, H. hired a Cambodian motorbike taxi driver to take him along the Vietnam-Cambodia border to seek ways to enter Vietnam.
