International arrivals entering Vietnam would no longer have to submit health declaration forms starting from Wednesday, the daily newspaper Vietnam News cited the country’s Ministry of Health as reporting.

The ministry has submitted an urgent document to the People’s Committees of provinces and cities regarding medical quarantine activities.

The ministry asked the localities to temporarily suspend the requirement for health declarations.The move was in response to recent reports of prolonged waits and congestion at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in southern Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City.
