Saad pa ng ahensiya noong Huwebes, “A total of 325 distressed OFWs arrived this morning at the NAIA Terminal 1. This is the third flight from UAE this year especially chartered by the DFA through the Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs (DFA-OUMWA) using the DFA’s Assistance to National Fund.”
Nilinaw naman ng DFA na sasailalim sa “stringent facility-based quarantine” ang mga napauwing OFWs bilang pagsunod sa health protocols ng Department of Health (DOH) - Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ).
