Vietnam restarts border health checks to prevent Nipah virus importation from India and Bangladesh.
Vietnam has reinstated pandemic-era border screenings, including remote temperature checks and health assessments, at major entry points like Tan Son Nhat International Airport and seaports, in response to Nipah virus outbreaks in India and Bangladesh.
Though no cases have been confirmed in Vietnam, the move aims to prevent importation of the highly fatal virus, which has a mortality rate up to 75% and spreads through bat-contaminated fruit or raw sap.
The country is enhancing surveillance, isolation protocols, and public awareness, urging avoidance of risky foods and promoting hygiene, as global health officials stress vigilance despite low transmission risk.
