In the current situation, where the Covid-19 pandemic is becoming increasingly complex, individuals and organizations must be aware of and implement measures to prevent the spread of the disease and limit its transmission within the community. So, how are the penalties for the act of returning from an epidemic area but intentionally concealing, not declaring, or delaying the declaration of health information?
Currently, the Covid-19 epidemic situation is continuing to develop complicatedly, especially more infections have been recorded in the community in Da Nang and Quang Ngai. Due to anxiety, 30 people, including patients and family members, escaped from Da Nang Hospital after the quarantine order.
The act of concealing the fact that he/she has been infectious with Covid-19 or someone else has been infectious with Covid-19 is considered a violation according to Decree No. 176/2013/ND-CP of Vietnam’s Government on penalties for administrative violations against medical laws.
Amidst the complex Covid-19 pandemic situation in Vietnam, many enterprises have had to make decisions to temporarily suspend operations, reduce staff, and even close down, etc. In recent days, LawNet has frequently received the question whether enterprises can unilaterally terminate employment contracts with employees due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and whether it is legally permissible.
