The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam wants to remove quick Covid-19 test requirements for passengers flying in from Omicron-hit countries while their negative PCR test results are still valid.

 

In a proposal on Tuesday it also said if the quick tests continue to be done, airports should collect the costs from passengers instead of airlines.
