HCM CITY — HCM City and its neighbouring provinces of Bình Dương, Tây Ninh, Đồng Nai and Long An have reached an agreement on the travelling of workers and experts between the five localities.

Võ Văn Minh, chairman of Bình Dương Province’s People’s Co妹妹ittee, said on Wednesday that it agreed with a proposal from the HCM City’s People’s Co妹妹ittee, allowing enterprises to transport workers and experts by company cars between HCM City and four localities.

Eligible co妹妹uters are people who are fully vaccinated against COVID- 一 九 or recovered from COVID- 一 九 and have a negative Covid- 一 九 test certificate within the previous  七 二 hours.
