(Ali Vicoy/MANILA BULLETIN) The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF) approved the new guidelines for the inbound passengers vaccinated abroad, that include requiring the presentation of vaccine certificates, following a meeting early this week. Under IATF Resolution No. 123-C, passengers vaccinated abroad staying in “green” countries will be required to undergo a seven-day quarantine at a facility upon arrival in the Philippines, instead of the standard 10-day facility-based quarantine and four days in their place of destination. The seven-day quarantine protocol is the same requirement imposed by the government for returning international passengers vaccinated in the Philippines.
