Close contacts of virus patients no longer need to self-quarantine

People who have been in close contact with Covid-19 cases (F1 cases) are now no longer required to self-quarantine but have to avoid going to large gatherings, according to new guidance issued by the Health Ministry.

The new guidance gives new definitions of Covid-19 patients (F0), and F1 cases, along with medical measures for them, which takes into account the very high vaccination coverage and a strong decline in both serious cases and fatalities due to Covid-19 in Vietnam.
