Baguio mulls allowing entry of fully vaccinated tourists
Baguio City is considering allowing fully vaccinated tourists to enter the city again, possibly by next week, as COVID-19 cases continue to decrease.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong stated that the easing of restrictions for non-essential travel is contingent on the sustained decline of cases.
The city government wants to ensure that opening up does not lead to a surge in infections.
A continued drop in cases will also provide much-needed rest for the city's healthcare workers and alleviate the strain on hospitals.
The improvement in the hospital situation is also a factor in the potential easing of travel restrictions.
