TRAVELERS will no longer be mandated to undergo a Covid-19 test except when required by the local government unit (LGU) of their destination, the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases said.
No traveler will be required to undergo quarantine unless he or she manifests symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) upon arrival.
These new rules are contained in Resolution No. 101, which the IATF approved on Friday, February 26, 2021 to standardize travel protocols for land, air and sea.
The IATF also removed the documentary requirements for travelers.
There will no longer be a need for a travel authority from the Joint Task Force Covid Shield.
