These citizens immigrated to Republic of Guinea since December 2019 to work under labour contract with Vietnam Construction and Manpower Joint Stock Company (CM Vietnam) located at Lot A60, 3-hectare area, Phuc Dien ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi.

Quy informed there are about 200 Vietnamese labourers currently working in Republic of Guinea. To date, 24 people have been tested, 22 of whom were detected positive for SARS-CoV-2. 

Medical facilities in Republic of Guinea are said to be poor even lacking of popular aspirins while the health system depends on aids from foreign countries. Hence, 200 Vietnamese citizens there face high risk of Covid-19 infection.

Currently, there is no flight to Vietnam. CM Vietnam is looking to hire a private jet but no one knows when it will be done. Besides, the company contacted the Vietnamese Embassy in Angola (in charge of Republic of Guinea) for support. However, the family has not received any information from their relatives.

Bac Giang DOFA has collaborated with the Consular Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vietnamese Embassy in Angola (in charge of Republic of Guinea) and related agencies to grasp information about the case, reasons for detention and solution of the authorities in the host country to seek necessary citizen protection measures.
