Ito ang inihayag ng Department of Tourism (DOT), matapos na ibasura ng Inter-Agency Task Force for COVID-19,ang requirement na pagpi-prisinta ng negatibong COavID19 test.
Sa ilalim ng Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) Resolution 168, lahat ng biyahero may edad 18 pataas na fully vaccinated o nakatanggap na ng booster ay exempted na sa pagpi prisinta ng negatibong COVID19 test.

“We are glad that the propositions we have worked on have been approved by the IATF-EID and are now up for implementation. As we make it more convenient for tourists to visit the country, the public’s health and safety will remain the DOT’s priority,” ayon kayTourism Secretary Berna-Romulo Puyat .
“The DOT sees this development as a win for the local tourism industry as welcoming more tourists in the country will yield more revenues for our MSMEs and restore more jobs and livelihoods in the sector,” dagdag ng Kalihim.
