“Kinokonsider po natin ang ban para sa mga areas o bansa kung saan na may naulat na ng community transmission na mga kaso hango sa new variant (We are considering (to impose) a ban for areas or countries where there is a reported community transmission of the new (coronavirus) variant),” said DoH Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire in a press briefing.
Vergeire assured that they are monitoring the situation in other countries that have documented a case of the new variant.
“Ang mga areas o bansang may recorded cases ng UK variant ay kasalukuyan na po nating minomonitor. Ang pagkumpirma ng community transmission sa mga lugar na ito ay ating itinakdang pamantayan upang ma-impose natin yung travel ban (Areas or countries with recorded cases of the UK variant are currently being monitored. The confirmation of community transmission in these areas is our standard in imposing a travel ban),” she noted.
