Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said this new testing protocol was adopted by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) last Tuesday. “Arriving passengers, regardless of their origin, will be required to undergo facility-based quarantine upon arrival. They will then undergo RT-PCR test on the fifth day from their date of arrival in the country unless the passenger shows symptoms at an earlier date while on quarantine,” Roque said in a statement.
