Vietnam will stop issuing visas for Chinese tourists, the government said on Thursday, after the Southeast Asian country detected three new cases of coronavirus. Cross-border trade between Vietnam and China is not encouraged at the moment, the government said in a statement. “The outbreak is spreading rapidly, and in a serious manner,” the statement said. Chinese tourists accounted for one-third of tourists visiting Vietnam last year, according to Vietnamese government statistics. Last week, Vietnam’s health ministry said two Chinese citizens in Vietnam had tested positive for coronavirus. One has since recovered. |
