Dr. Guido David of the OCTA Research Group said the new unified travel requirements, which removed the mandatory testing and the need to undergo quarantine for travelers, must be reevaluated.
“I hope they would evaluate the measures. I mean, it’s not bad to travel but let’s just be strict about our controls so that we don’t spread the virus all over the country,” he added. Travelers will also no longer be required to undergo quarantine unless they exhibit symptoms upon arrival at the place of destination.
David said the new measures on domestic travel “is a bit concerning” as some areas are now “doing very well,” particularly the cities of Bacolod and Iloilo, while other areas are still “not doing well” with regards to their number of cases.
