MANDATORY QUARANTINE AND COVID-19 TESTING FOR ALL ARRIVING FILIPINOS TO THE PHILIPPINES


The Philippine Embassy in Seoul wishes to inform the public that pursuant to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) Resolution No. 30, Series of 2020, all arriving Filipinos shall be managed in accordance with the updated algorithm for the triage and management of repatriated OFWs from high risk or other jurisdictions issued by the Department of Health (DOH) and the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ). Therefore, all Filipinos arriving from overseas who are not OFWs (i.e. returning tourists, returning emigrants, students, J-1 visa holders, etc.) and foreign nationals who are exempted from the inbound travel ban, are to be subjected to same mandatory quarantine (not exceeding 14 days) and/or COVID-19 testing upon arrival in the Philippines that are required for returning OFWs.

Implementing guidelines on the mandatory quarantine and COVID-19 testing for Non-OFWs will be made available as soon as finalized by the BOQ and the National Task Force COVID-19.

Furthermore, all travelers to the Philippines are advised to expect significant delays in travelling to their final destinations outside Metro Manila in view of the limited transportation options resulting from the existing Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila and in the different regions, provinces and cities throughout the Philippines. In view of the foregoing, prospective travelers are advised to postpone or delay non-essential travel to the Philippines.

The public is further advised to continuously monitor the websites of relevant Philippine agencies for updates on this matter. END
