Foreign
EXECUTIVE Secretary Salvador Medialdea on Wednesday said the Philippines would ban travelers from Bangladesh, Nepal, akistan, and Sri Lanka from May 7 in effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 variant found in India.
In a memorandum, Medialdea said all passengers coming from or who had been to these countries within 14 days shall be prohibited from entering the Philippines from May 7 to 14.
According to the memorandum, arrivals before May 7 who came from or had been to these four countries would be allowed to enter but would be required to be isolated in government-run quarantine facilities for 14 days regardless of a swab test result.
The Philippines earlier banned travelers from India from April 29 to May 14 due to the COVID-19 resurgence there.
