Regulations on Medical Isolation at the Hotel

As stated by Vietnam’s Ministry of Health, visitors who are in quarantine must strictly follow the following provisions on medical isolation.

• While in room isolation, you should minimize going out of your hotel room and minimize direct contact with some other people within the quarantine area. If you really must get out of the room, you should wear a mask at all times and maintain a minimum distance of at least 2 meters from other people.

• Do not engage in any crowded games while in the quarantine area. Avoid gathering or socializing with other persons in isolation.
• Always wear a mask when in direct contact with other people. Avoid spitting indiscriminately.

• Wash the cups and utensils that you have used, including your personal belongings. Always ensure proper hygiene while in the hotel room.
• Place the garbage in a sealed bag and put it inside the trashcan outside of the room to be collected daily.
• If you had requested laundry, pick up your clothes from the hallway outside your room at certain times. All fabrics that need to be washed should be placed inside the sealed plastic bag for washing and place it in the hallway for collection.

Take note that you will have to shoulder the cost of quarantine unless the company who sponsors you will pay for it. The fees will vary depending on the hotel you have chosen to stay. You are highly advised to follow all the regulations. Otherwise, the hotel will have every right to refuse your stay on their property and inform the authorities.
