DILG wants LGUs to follow uniform travel protocols; erring execs to get show cause order
Approximately 80 to 90% of local government units (LGUs) are complying with most provisions of the latest uniform travel protocols.
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) Resolution No. 101 eased travel restrictions by removing the need for travel authority from the police, and medical certificates from the locality of origin.
Quarantine will only be imposed if travelers exhibit symptoms upon arrival at their destination.
COVID-19 testing is not mandatory unless specifically required by the LGU before travel.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) will release a memorandum circular mandating LGUs to follow these protocols.
Non-compliant LGUs will be issued a show cause order by the DILG.
