Malacañang announced on Saturday the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has approved the uniform travel protocols for local government units (LGUs).
Travelers will no longer be subjected to quarantine unless they exhibit symptoms at the destination upon arrival.
“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.
“Clinical and exposure assessment shall be strictly implemented in all ports of entry and exit while health assessment of passengers, supervised by medical doctors, shall be mandatory upon entry in the port/terminal and exit at point of destination,” he added.
Roque said the travel authority, which was previously issued by the Joint Task Force COVID Shield, as well as health certificates will no longer be required.
Those from national government agencies and their attached agencies who are authorized persons outside of residence (APOR) however need to present their ID, travel order and travel itinerary. They should also be able to pass symptom-screening upon entry and exit. | via GMA News
