The Philippine government has expanded its travel restrictions to Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a bid to prevent the entry of a variant first identified in India.
“All travelers coming from Oman and the UAE or those with travel history to these two countries within the 14 days preceding arrival shall be prohibited from entering the Philippines beginning 0001H of May 15, 2021 until 2359H of May 31, 2021,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said late Thursday.
According to Roque, passengers who are already in transit and arrive before May 15 will not be subject to the travel restrictions.
But, they are required to undergo stricter quarantine and testing protocols by observing a 14-day facility-based quarantine period upon arrival and undergoing coronavirus testing.
“The Department of Transportation should ensure that airlines are directed not to allow the boarding of passengers who are prohibited from entering the country pursuant to travel restrictions imposed by the Office of the President and IATF resolutions except if they are part of the repatriation efforts of the national government,” the secretary said.
