April 05, 2021 ALL travelers from National Capital Region (NCR) and “high-risk” areas have to undergo swab testing for coronavirus disease (Covid-19) before they could enter Tacloban City, Mayor Alfred Romualdez said on Monday, April 5, 2021.
“We will require now swabbing or antigen test before they return. We don’t want to be an additional burden to the national government,” said Romualdez.
He added that the travel protocol is in response to the new Covid-19 variants spreading in certain parts of the country.
