All foreign nationals coming from South Korea will be allowed to enter the Philippines provided they present a certification issued by the Korean government that they did not come from North Gyeongsang province or even visited the place the past couple of days, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said Friday.

BI spokesperson Dana Sandoval also said Filipino tourists will not be allowed to depart for South Korea.

Philippine authorities are coordinating with South Korean counterparts to identify travelers who had come from North Gyeongsang province, Sandoval added. Major K-pop acts that have canceled or postponed their Asia concerts include massively popular BTS, JYP’s nine-member girl band Twice, SM Entertainment’s Red Velvet and NCT Dream.

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said, among the other Cabinet members comprising the task force, he has already signed Resolution No. 08 of the IATF-EID. The task force also stated that those “leaving for study abroad, and permanent residents of South Korea shall likewise be allowed to travel to South Korea.”
