Accordingly, people who complete the mandatory 14-day quarantine and test negative twice will have to still remain in centralised quarantine areas, including both military-run and civil quarantine areas.
The move is in line with the request of Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, who is head of the Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control.
