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.
