Vietnam has scrapped medical declaration requirements within the country, but localities will continue monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Health Ministry. 

The Ministry said COVID-19 has been brought under control with the number of infections and deaths significantly falling.

The vaccination coverage against the pandemic is high nationwide and still effective against the existing variants.

However, localities would still need to continue implementing measures to monitor the COVID-19 situation, ensuring early detection and handling of outbreaks, the Ministry said.
