Foreign and overseas Vietnamese religious followers in foreign countries, especially in pandemic zones, should refrain from migrating into Vietnam. All migrants should be quarantined at established centers for 14 days as regulated.
Clinics run by religious organizations are allowed to reopen and offer medical treatment to the disadvantaged and local residents.
