Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II on Monday welcomed the Department of Health's (DOH) approval of the province's proposal to assign an alert level for each city and municipality.

Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II said on Monday they will continue to require an S-PaSS permit for inbound travelers, after the city government here announced that such document is no longer required for Bacolod-bound passengers who are fully-vaccinated, traveling by land, sea or air. "It is not wise for us to let our guards down and allow unimpeded travel without protocols," Diaz said in an interview with Capitol reporters. Removing the S-PaSS requirement is "not legal," Diaz said, citing Resolution 101 of the national Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), which prescribes S-PaSS as the mode by which travelers can upload all documentation for proper recording. "It's the way that we can check and verify the requirements from vaccination card ....
