Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 9) The United States eased its travel restrictions to the Philippines, telling Americans to reconsider pushing through with trips due to the COVID-19 situation in the country.
It listed the Philippines under Level 3: Reconsider Travel on Tuesday. In April, the Philippines was categorized under Level 4: Do Not Travel when parts of the country were experiencing a surge in new infections.
The threat levels are determined by the number of COVID-19 cases in a given country. Areas under Level 3 are those currently reporting 100 to 500 cases per 100,000 residents.

A new WHO/Europe study reveals that improved blood-pressure control at the primary health-care level in Tajikistan can be achieved in 12 months using WHO tools. Elevated blood pressure is a condition directly linked to many cardiovascular diseases, which are prevalent in the country.
“This is an important study that shows that even in a relatively low-resource setting, it is possible to achieve and demonstrate change in clinical practice that can be of benefit to patient health,” says Dr Jill Farrington, Regional Medical Officer, Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes, WHO/Europe.

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Travel Health Notice for the Philippines due to COVID-19, indicating a high level of COVID-19 in the country. There are restrictions in place affecting U.S. citizen entry into the Philippines,” said an advisory posted on the website of the US Embassy in Manila.
In April this year, the US government imposed a Level 4 travel health notice to the Philippines due to the exponential increase in COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Region and nearby provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Rizal and Laguna.
