Travel authority, medical certificate no longer required for travel -- DILG

DILG Undersecretary and spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said the decision was reached after the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases approved the harmonized national travel protocols for land, air, and sea recommended by the department.

“If the LGU of destination requires a test, it shall only require a Reverse-Transcription – Polymerase Chain Reaction test and no other. Meaning, LGUs cannot require Antigen tests or rapid tests as test requirements prior to travel,” Malaya said. Malaya urged all travelers to check with the locality of their destination before traveling to ensure a smooth trip.

He noted that all LGUs, regardless if they require PCR tests or not, shall conduct clinical and exposure assessment at all points of entry and exit to ensure that only asymptomatic, non-close contact individuals are allowed to travel or move from one LGU to another. For ports and terminals, Malaya said all must have assigned sufficient number of quarantine facilities.
