PHILIPPINE TRAVEL UPDATE IATF RESOLUTION NO.153 ANNOUNCEMENT
PH adds Portugal to ‘red list’ countries starting Dec. 12
The Philippine government has included Portugal in its “red list” countries, or those considered as high-risk for COVID-19.
Acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles announced Friday that the Inter-Agency Task Force has approved the directive, which is set to take effect on Dec. 12 at 12:01 a.m.
Fully vaccinated passengers who have been to Portugal 14 days prior to arrival should undergo facility-based quarantine and take an RT-PCR test on the 7th day. They may be discharged upon the release of negative test results, but they must observe home quarantine until the 14th day.
Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated travelers, and those whose vaccination status cannot be confirmed, shall undergo the mandatory 10-day facility-based quarantine and take the RT-PCR test on the 7th day. The two-week quarantine must be completed at home after discharge.
All inbound passengers, regardless of vaccination status, are also required to present a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours before their departure from Portugal.
Minors shall comply with the same testing and quarantine protocols as their parents. Children below 3 years old need not show negative COVID-19 test results, except if they exhibit symptoms.
Meanwhile, effective Dec. 15, only returning Filipinos will be allowed to enter the country, whether they were onboard government or non-government-initiated repatriated flights and Bayanihan flights.
Nograles noted passengers who only transited Portugal and were not cleared by respective immigration authorities for entry into the European country are not included.
