Coaches
departed for Ho Chi Minh City and other southern localities on October 11 to
transport people of Hoa Binh back home. They arrived in the province on October
15. The returnees were sent to quarantine facilities upon their arrival, where
they were received in a safe, quick, and thoughtful manner, with anti-COVID-19
rules seriously implemented.

returnees this time.
On October 15 evening, Lac Son received 99

quarantine facilities in the district, including the former health station of
Man Duc commune, the former headquarters of the People’s Committees of Phong
Phu and Do Nhan communes, and the former Tan Lac High School.
All conditions necessary for the concentrated

returnees to protect their health and comply with regulations during the
quarantine period, the administrations of localities have presented gifts which
are essential goods to them. Localities in Hoa Binh basically completed the
