One of 21 Chinese people found for the illegal entry in Quang Nam

The Chinese people were detected at a residential area in Dien Duong Ward in Dien Ban Town. When seen, the group tried to flee. Four among them were then detained on the spot, while the others were arrested some hours later.  

Nguyen Van Hai, director of Quang Nam’s Department of Health, said that the people consist of 19 men and two women who were all tested negative for Covid-19. They have been sent to a local quarantine site.

According to Nguyen Xuan Ha, vice chairman of Dien Ban Town, over the past two days, no more Chinese people have been found in the locality besides the group.

Authorities have asked the locals to timely inform people who are suspected of illegal entry.

Colonel Le Chi Cuong, head of the province’s Immigration Board, said that the agency did not clearly know how the Chinese could enter Vietnam.
