The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases has amended the testing and quarantine protocols for Filipinos coming from countries where travel restrictions are in place due to the new coronavirus (Covid-19) variant.
“From the strict observation of an absolute 14 day facility-based quarantine period for Filipino citizens coming from areas where travel restrictions are in place, the IATF amended this to prescribed testing and quarantine protocols,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement Friday.
Roque said Filipinos arriving for “highly exceptional and/or medical reasons” and local diplomats are now subject to applicable quarantine protocols prescribed by the Department of Health.
Incoming passengers coming from or transiting through countries covered by the travel ban must be tested upon arrival and must be quarantined until the result of the subsequent test administered on the fifth day is released, he added.
The official noted that the government’s Covid-19 task force also ratified the National Deployment and Vaccination Plan for Covid-19, which will serve as guide for vaccination implementers, such as the local government units.
