Relating to certificates of SARS-CoV-2 test results of operators of goods transport (e.g. drivers, onboard personnel, porters or handlers), the Ministry of Health has just provided new guidelines.
Accordingly, it is exempt from examination of certificates of SARS-CoV-2 test results of operators of goods transport that only travels within a province or centrally-affiliated city applying the Prime Minister’s Directive No. 16/CT-TTg.
However, if operators of goods transport travel from local jurisdictions applying the Directive No. 16 or blockade zones to other adjacent ones applying less strict disease prevention and control measures, they must have certificates of negative results for the SARS-CoV-2 test performed within 72 hours (from the sampling time).
People's Committees of provinces/centrally-affiliated cities shall be in charge of preparing rest stops convenient for providing free tests for operators of means of transport of essential goods and production goods who are issued with identification cards indicating green-channel priority.
