POEA: 29 seafarers tests positive for COVID-19 after arriving in China

POEA Administrator Bernard Olalia said that Chinese Embassy in Manila itself informed him that there are 29 Filipino seafarers who tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in China.

Olalia said the 29 seafarers underwent COVID-19 tests here in the Philippines and have tested negative before being allowed deployment to China. “Sabi ko po walang isyu doon sa integrity dahil sigurado po dahil hindi naman po pumapayag yan na ma-forged o ma-doctor or magbigay ng fabricated result yung ating mga DOH-accredited facility na nag-i-issue po ng negative COVID test ,” the administrator assured.
