Quarantine Jan 2021 - the Start

 After 2 months back in KL with the family finally have to fly back to Saigon to work. Covid 19 have not shown any signs of slowing down with most countries in the world registering new highs, including KL.

One good news probably is that few countries have started the vaccine process, China have 9 million people vaccinated, USA 3million. Singapore just started and Malaysia probably will start late February.

2 Jan early morning go to KLIA. Quite a long queue as the airline put everyone on same queue for different flights.

Flight to Saigon was probably 30% full. Reached Saigon without any hassle. Touched down 10am local time Submitted a bunch of forms including approval letters from Vietnamese government, COVID test results etc. (done 3 days before flight)

Had to go to the visa counter to get a temporary single entry visa and get back to main queue to clear immigration. Only 1 counter was open and it took about 50 minutes to clear immigration, by then the luggage are already out of the conveyors waiting to be collected.

We were assigned to hotel driver and was given a PPE to put on before allowed to go on the car. The quarantine hotel is only 5 minutes drive from airport. By 1230am I was in my studio unit room in the hotel. 5 minutes later phone rang to ask for my choice of lunch.

Had a look of the 56m2 room, complete with kitchen, living area and a separate bedroom with i bath room and 1 separate toilet. Started to unpack.
