Lack of quarantine facilities forces Cebu to limit international arrivals

“Sa succeeding days, ang ginawa natin, nag pa issue tayo ng advisory sa Civil Aeronautics Board, ililimit natin yung capacity to 300 per day. Kung dalawa yung flights for that day hati sila, 150 each,” MCIA Officer in Charge Glenn Napuli told ABS-CBN's TeleRadyo.

“Ang recommendation ng regional IATF namin to limit into 1 flight a day. Ang nangyari doon, ibang flights maka-cancel, ayaw i-cancel so ang ginawa ng Civil Aeronautics Board ina-allocate na which is better kasi meron silang pasahero, maron pa rin makakauwi, walang maka-cancel na flight pero nga ang total per day is 300 lang muna,” he said.

The inter-Agency Task Force said inbound travelers should stay for 10 days at a quarantine facility, and complete a 4-day home quarantine in their destination. All arriving passengers will also undergo RT-PCR test on the 7th day upon arrival. Around 900 passengers are affected by the 2-day flight cancellation. He said 200 passengers of Eva Air and about 350 onboard Qatar Airways are affected by the flight cancellation on Friday. Napuli said the 2-day flight cancellation would serve as their breathing space as they wait for the quarantine period of other passengers to end.
