The government will ensure testing facilities are sufficient to accommodate travelers arriving from countries with reported cases of the new variant of Covid-19, Malacañang said.
The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases earlier amended the testing and quarantine protocols for Filipinos coming from countries where travel restrictions are in place due to the new Covid-19 variant.
“The IATF has resolved that incoming passengers shall be tested upon arrival and shall be quarantined until the result of the subsequent test administered on the fifth day is released,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a recent statement.
“Having said this, we assure everyone that the government would find ways and means to have enough testing facilities that would be used or tapped to strictly comply with this resolution,” added Roque.
As of Saturday, the Philippines recorded 511,679 Covid-19 cases, with 467,886 recoveries and 10,190 deaths.
