Gov't prohibits travel to Basilan, Lanao del Sur and Camiguin
The Joint Task Force COVID Shield has ordered the suspension of travel for Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) bound for Basilan, Lanao del Sur, and Camiguin for 15 days starting July 1.
This decision, made by the National Task Force Against COVID-19, aims to halt the movement of LSIs to these provinces.
The governors of the three provinces had requested the deferment to allow more time for disinfecting and assessing quarantine facilities.
The suspension of travel authorities means LSIs cannot pass through checkpoints without this document.
Travel authorities remain suspended for LSIs heading to Western Visayas and Eastern Visayas.
The travel ban for Eastern Visayas began on June 25, and for Western Visayas, including Cebu and Mactan Islands, it started on June 28.
