The move comes after Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company sent a telegram to relevant units, detailing a plan to prepare a train specifically for the purpose of transporting 56 Chinese experts to Quang Ngai on August 5.

The scheme saw the train transport medical workers and other relevant forces alongside the foreign experts, with three carriages being specifically arranged for the Chinese nationals.

Two staff have been placed in charge of these carriages, with each of them being required to wear protective suits. Indeed, they will be immediately quarantined by the Quang Ngai Department of Health upon their arrival in the province in line with regulations.

Moreover, the railway sector has requested that relevant locations, including stations in Dong Dang, Hanoi, Nghia Binh, and Quang Ngai, devise plans aimed at receiving and guiding passengers to designated places while the entirety of the reception area is blockaded.

Earlier on June 11, the railway sector carried 150 experts by car from Dong Dang railway station to the Lang Son border gate before transporting them by train to continue the journey from Hanoi to Quang Ngai.

Upon their arrival at Quang Ngai station, each of the passengers were placed into quarantine for 14 days in line with COVID-19 regulations.
