I am planning to travel to Hanoi from Tokyo in the beginning of April for a couple of days. But news websites like this mention that travellers from Japan and South Korea will be quarantined on entry while some other websites say that travellers from both these countries have been barred to enter.
Is there any official or government source where such information can be verified?
The Timatic news feed has a page dedicated to coronavirus restrictions. This information is provided by each national government to IATA so that airlines can verify passenger documents and eligibility to enter or transit any given country.
Currently for Vietnam the restrictions are:
VIET NAM - published 19.02.2020
Passengers who have been in or transited through China (People's Rep.) in the past 14 days are not allowed to enter Viet Nam. This does not apply to passengers who travel for diplomatic or official purpose.
This does not apply to nationals of Viet Nam.
This does not apply to passengers who reside in Viet Nam.
Passengers who travel for diplomatic or official purpose will undergo a medical examination at the border before allowed to enter Viet Nam.
