JUST IN: Good news, travelers - no more quarantine!
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced Saturday that pursuant to IATF Resolution No. 101, all travelers are no longer required to undergo a 14-day quarantine upon arrival unless they exhibit symptoms.
A negative RT-PCR test, however, is still required only if the LGU of the destination requires it prior to travel.
In addition, the travel authority document previously issued by the JTF COVID Shield, along with health certificates, are no longer required.
"Authorities shall continue to strictly implement the minimum public health standards, such as physical distancing, hand hygiene, cough etiquette, and wearing of face masks and face shields across all settings," Roque said.
This, as the national IATF has approved the uniform travel protocols for all local government units nationwide.
