Cebu scraps RT-PCR test for travellers
Travelers entering Cebu province are no longer required to present negative RT-PCR or rapid antigen test results for COVID-19.
Instead, a medical certificate issued within 24 hours before arrival, confirming the absence of COVID-19 symptoms at the point of origin, is sufficient.
This policy change was announced by Governor Gwendolyn Garcia and aligns with Cebu province being placed under general community quarantine (GCQ).
The Department of Health-7 noted a downtrend in COVID-19 cases in the region.
As of Friday, Cebu province had 2,176 active COVID-19 cases.
