Tinanggal na ng Iloilo City government nitong Miyerkules ang negative RT-PCR test at quarantine requirements para sa mga fully vaccinated na bibisita sa lugar.
“To prevent another lockdown and forcible temporary closure of businesses in the city, the COVID Team uniformly requires no more swab testing upon arrival for fully vaccinated individuals,” ani Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas sa Executive Order No. 15.
Gayunman, nilinaw ni Treñas na required pa rin na mag-isolate ang mga turistang makararamdam ng sintomas ng COVID-19.
“They shall submit themselves to NPS/OPS RT-PCR testing conducted by the USWAG Iloilo Molecular Laboratory at the Covered Gym, Lapaz Plaza,” ani Treñas.
Samantala, ang quarantine-upon-arrival at swab ay required pa rin para sa mga partially vaccinated at unvaccinated travelers.
“In the event the RT-PCR result indicated a positive infection, the subject returning resident must strictly comply with instructions given by the local health authorities,” dagdag pa ng alkalde.
Dagdag pa rito, sinabi ng alkalde na ang mga said partially vaccinated at unvaccinated returning overseas Filipinos (ROFs) na may travel history mula sa mga red list countries ay required na kumpletuhin ang 14-day quarantine mula sa date of arrival at kailangang sumailalim sa swab testing pagkaraan ng limang araw mula sa date of arrival.
“This Executive Order shall take effect immediately until 11:59 p.m. of February 15, 2022, or until the said period is extended or lifted earlier per latest issuance of the IATF on the quarantine classification of Iloilo City,” ayon pa sa executive order ni Treñas.
