Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 21) The government is avoiding declaring restrictions on travelers from Malaysia and Thailand as much as possible, but assures these will be declared if the Delta variant’s threat in both countries reaches that of gravely-hit Indonesia.
“ na 97% ng Delta variant sa kanila ay magde-deklara na tayo ng travel ban,” said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque when asked what it would take for the government to impose travel bans on the two countries.
[Translation: If there already is a threat similar to what happened in Indonesia where the prevalence of the Delta variant has already reached 97%, we would declare a travel ban.]
