A mobile application called NCOVI has been launched by the Vietnamese government for all Vietnamese citizens.

The app allows all Vietnamese citizens to declare their health conditions to help the country to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 

The app works on both Android and iOS platforms in Vietnamese and such foreign languages as English, Chinese, South Korean, Italian, Iranian, Japanese, Russian and Cambodian.

It can be downloaded from Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vnptit.innovation.ncovi or Apple Store at https://apps.apple.com/vn/app/ncovi/id1501934178.

After downloading the NCOVI app, users provide personal information and their health condition in the ‘Health Declaration’ section on the main screen. Included are name, address, nationality, passport number, and the status of health over the past 14 days.

In addition, app users can update their health conditions on a daily basis, and they can also report suspected cases of coronavirus to the health offcials through the use of this online application system.

Besides, Covid-19 updates, infection control guidelines and recommendations given by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health, are available for app users.

The Vietnam Health Declaration app is recommended for international tourist arrivals.
