P50K multa at kulong sa pekeng COVID test result

ni Mary Gutierrez Almirañez | April 12, 2021

Magbabalik na ang domestic at international flight sa ilalim ng modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), matapos makansela ang ilang biyahe noong mga nakaraang linggo dahil sa surge ng COVID-19.

Ayon sa Cebu Pacific, "Will continue to operate its domestic and international flights as scheduled. However passengers who wish to postpone their flights and those traveling for non-essential reasons may select their preferred option through the Manage Booking portal on the Cebu Pacific website."

Binalaan naman ng Philippine Airlines ang mga biyaherong mamemeke ng COVID-19 RT-PCR o antigen tests results, kung saan P50,000 ang multa o mahigit 6 na buwang pagkakakulong ang karampatang parusa.

Ito ay matapos mahuli ang 15 indibidwal na nameke ng test results para lamang makabiyahe sa Cotabato, Dipolog at Zamboanga.

Ayon sa PAL, "We wish to alert the public to secure authentic COVID-19 test results only from legitimate medical providers. Safe travel is always the paramount concern, and airlines and authorities are vigilant in not accepting travelers holding fake RT-PCR or Antigen test results, for everybody's protection."

Kasong paglabag sa RA 11332 o Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act ang haharapin ng mahuhuling lalabag.

Sa ngayon ay mga essential travelers lamang ang pinapayagang makabiyahe dahil sa banta ng COVID-19.

500-K doses pa ng Sinovac, darating na sa ‘Pinas

ni Mary Gutierrez Almirañez | April 11, 2021

Inaasahang darating ngayong linggo ang karagdagang 500,000 doses ng Sinovac COVID-19 vaccines mula sa China na ihahatid ng Philippine Airlines flight PR359.

Sa kabuuan ay mahigit isang milyon na ang naunang dumating na Sinovac sa ‘Pinas na kaagad ding sinundan ng 525,600 doses ng AstraZeneca mula sa COVAX facility.

Sa ngayon ay Sinovac na lamang ang bakunang inaaloka sa bansa, kung saan pinayagan na rin itong iturok sa mga senior citizens matapos maubos ang suplay ng AstraZeneca.
