Palace: Malaysia, Thailand travel bans to be imposed once Delta threat arises

travel ban,” said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque when asked what it would take for the government to impose travel bans on the two countries.

[Translation: If there already is a threat similar to what happened in Indonesia where the prevalence of the Delta variant has already reached 97%, we would declare a travel ban.] The spokesman explained that by the time the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases moved to recommend a travel ban on Indonesia, the highly transmissible variant’s prevalence in the Southeast Asian country already reached that rate.

However, during this time frame, the prevalence of the Delta variant was “only at 34%” in Malaysia, he added.Hangga’t maaari, dahil mga karatig-bansa natin ‘yan at ‘yan ang pinakamalapit na mga bansa sa atin, ay iniiwasan natin ang[Translation: As much as possible, since they are our neighboring countries and nearest to us, we are avoiding a travel ban.]as it deals with an overwhelming surge of coronavirus infections, which health experts say is being driven by the Delta variant.

The Philippines currently has 35 cases of the variant, eight of which are active while three have died.

What if we are hit hard before them? Kaway kaway nalang......

Aantayin pa po tlaga na dadami ang Delta variant ng Pinas? Eh dba halos d nga tama ang number of cases na report eh,mas madami pa yan kaysa actual na natamaan ng Delta. Wag nyo antayin magsuffer ang Pinas like nangyayari now sa Indonesia & India. Remember mahirap lng po ang Pinas

Wala talagang sense of urgency khit kelan

or they could just implement travel restrictions and prevent further headaches?

Halatang sinasadya na pataasin number of cases para may rason sila na maglockdown at ng makautang ulit ng makuKUPIT-19 para sa eleksyon. 🤪🤪🤪🤪

why wait if you can close our borders already from travelers coming from these countries

Jusko iyan na naman hihintayin muna lumala!!

1 case ng delta variant, threat na. hihintayin muna talaga lumala eh.

Wala talaga sa vocab ang preventive ano?

Will respond only when the prevalence reaches level of Indonesia? This Admin is nearing its finale and still in limbo. Fellow Citizens pls pls be reminded to vote very very wisely this 2022 keep in mind all these people, all their BS, crookedness and incompetence.

mag isip naman kayo ng mabuti... hintayin ninyo pa dumami bago kayo kumilos... mga bobo!!!

So di pa pala threat? Kelan un?

if

OMG. They should learn to read the data. Compared with the population, Malaysia's situation is much worse than in Indonesia

babagal bagal na naman sila na akala may inaantay. mapuruhan sanang tamaan yang mga opisyal na kukupad kupad. mga lintek
