Many countries consider Vietnam a safe destination

France considers Vietnam a green zone; Germany has removed Vietnam from the list of high risk of infection.

On March 3, Germany removed 60 countries and territories from the list of areas with high risk of disease transmission, including Vietnam. This decision is based on how widespread the Omicron strain is.

Vietnamese visitors to Germany are exempted from home isolation for 10 days and do not need to make an online medical declaration. However, travelers 12 years of age or older must present a negative test result, or a certificate of Covid-19 recovery, and a certificate of two vaccinations.

Previously, the German newspaper Stuttgarter Nachrichten suggested that tourists should go to Vietnam, which began welcoming international visitors from March 15. Reasons to visit Vietnam that the newspaper gives include delicious food, beaches, Mekong Delta, old town, beautiful natural scenery. Suggested destinations are Hanoi, Hoi An National Park, Phong Nha - Ke Bang and Quang Ninh.
