Some 1,300 Filipinos stranded in Dubai due to COVID-19 travel restrictions

Of the figure, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said on Sunday about 400 overseas Filipinos and their children were longing to return to the country.

The Philippine government has extended the ban on travelers coming from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Oman, and the UAE until June 30, to prevent the Delta variant from reaching the country. Only Filipinos covered by the repatriation programs of the government or recruitment agencies are allowed to return.
