HANOI (Asia) – Bamboo Airways and VietJet Air in Vietnam shall be resuming domestic flights starting Thursday. This comes after the expiry of a 15-day government order of social distancing norms to be observed.
Vietnam ordered curbs from late March on domestic flights with social distancing restrictions nationwide to curb the coronavirus spread, which has infected 257 people. There have been no deaths so far.
VietJet Air announced it was restarting flying on domestic routes from Thursday. It advised customers that an expected schedule may be subject to change.
Vietnam’s deputy health minister Nguyen Thanh Long suggested that Vietnam should extend its social distancing rules to curb community coronavirus transmissions, a suggestion the government is considering.
