Philippines bans travelers from Malaysia, Thailand due to COVID19 Delta variant threat

Travelers from the 2 countries will be barred from entering the Philippines "beginning 12:01AM of July 25, 2021 until 11:59PM of July 31, 2021", said Palace spokesman Harry Roque.

Passengers already in transit from the Malaysia and Thailand who arrive before 12:01AM of July 25, 2021 "may still be allowed to enter the country but will be required to undergo a full 14 day facility quarantine, notwithstanding a negative Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction result," Roque said.

The travel ban exempts Filipinos who are part of repatriation efforts or special commercial flights, he added. "Clusters of Delta variant cases were seen to be linked to other local cases, therefore, exhibiting local transmission," the DOH said in a statement.
