Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on Thursday said the DOH Epidemiology Bureau is conducting a two-week evaluation of the COVID-19 situation in Malaysia and Thailand, where more and more cases of the feared variant are being recorded.
[Translation: Right now, we are looking at Malaysia and Thailand where Delta cases seem uncontrollable. Our bureau has a surveillance system. They will get a signal if it's time to expand the travel ban.] The Philippines on Wednesday included Indonesia in the travel ban list, which previously only imposed entry restrictions on travelers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
The health chief said the country's border control measures and strict quarantine protocols for incoming travelers have been effective in preventing the spread of the variant in the community.
