All passengers on the flight that landed at the Van Don Airport had already received two doses of Covid-19 vaccines, with the second dose administered at least 14 days but no more than 12 months prior to the date of entry.

 

They also furnished proof of negative Covid tests using RT-PCR method validated by authorities in the host country 72 hours before departure.
