(Photo by Jansen Romero / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has authorized the National Task Force Against COVID-19 chair or his deputy to “act on any similar request for suspension of domestic inbound travel to other jurisdictions.” The IATF decision came after travelers coming from Greater Manila Area, Cebu City, and Davao City will be temporarily blocked from entering Western Visayas until April 10 as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus disease. The task force chaired by Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, has granted the request of the concerned local government unit to impose such suspension on inbound passenger travel to Region VI where the world famous beach destination Boracay Island in Aklan province is located.
