BACOLOD City – Travelers bound for Negros Occidental need to comply with several requirements: an S-Pass permit, a StaySafe.PH application and negative results of their reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests 72 hours prior to entering the province.
Over the weekend, Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson signed Executive Order No. 21-18 series of 2021 adopting Resolution No. 101 issued by the National Inter-Agency Task Force (NIATF).
Residents of Western Visayas are no longer required to secure an RT-PCR test result, Lacson said.
Also, inbound travelers need to undergo a seven-day home quarantine in their local government unit of destination.
Under NIATF Resolution No. 101, travelers would no longer be compelled to go on quarantine unless they exhibit symptoms upon arrival.
Travelers are also no longer required to secure travel authorities or health certificates.
APOR from national government agencies and their attached agencies, on the other hand, must show their identification cards, travel orders and itineraries.
They must likewise pass symptom-screening at the ports of entry and exit./PN
