Jeopardized by the complex developments of local COVID-19 outbreaks, Vietnamese immigrants in Cambodia are bracing immense risk to repatriate by swimming across An Giang Province’s Binh Di River, which separates Vietnam and Cambodia.
The phenomenon was confirmed by Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Quang Diem, head of border guard at Long Binh Border Gate, An Phu District, An Giang Province, on Tuesday.
The border post has detected 30 cases of people swimming their way into Vietnam in the past few months, the majority of whom are Vietnamese immigrants who moved to Cambodia for job opportunities.

A married Vietnamese couple have tested positive for the novel coronavirus after entering Vietnam illegally from Cambodia.
D.D.Q., 58, and his wife – 52-year-old T.T.B. – traveled from Phnom Penh to the Mekong Delta province of An Giang via the Long Binh Border Gate on Tuesday.
The two could not present necessary documents required for entry into Vietnam and asked on-duty border guard officers for permission to be quarantined in the country.
They were later brought to a quarantine camp in An Phu District, An Giang Province.
