Hanoi has six hotels selected with a total 764 beds, of which five are used to quarantine foreign experts with prices ranging from VND1.2 million to VND5.1 million ($52 to $220) per room.

HCMC has nine hotels designated as quarantine camps with a total 841 beds, charging VND300,000 ($13) per room.

Neighboring Dong Nai Province, a manufacturing hub in the south, has 15 hotels selected with a total 504 beds and prices starting from VND200,000 ($8) a room.

Vietnam closed its borders and suspended all international flights on March 25, halting visa issuance for foreign nationals since March 18. Only Vietnamese stranded abroad, foreign experts, and high-skilled workers are allowed to enter the country at this time.

Those subject to compulsory isolation for 14 days after entering Vietnam have to register with authorities if they wish to stay at the hotels for quarantine and are willing to pay the fee.

Vietnam has recorded a total of 713 Covid-19 cases, 332 of them active. Eight patients have died.

Da Nang has recorded the highest number of cases at 192 since July 25, followed by Quang Nam with 46 cases; HCMC, eight; Lang Son, four; Dak Lak and Quang Ngai, three each; Hanoi, Bac Giang and Dong Nai, two each; and Thai Binh and Ha Nam, one each.
