DFA assures aid for Filipinos in China amid lockdowns
The Philippine Embassy in Beijing is preparing aid for Filipinos in China's Jilin province, which has been experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Due to local travel restrictions, the embassy cannot currently travel to Jilin to directly assess the situation of the Filipino community.
Despite the restrictions, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed that the embassy maintains close communication with Filipino community leaders in the affected area.
Filipinos in Jilin are encouraged to reach out to the Philippine Embassy via email at [email protected] or through their assistance-to-nationals hotline at +8613911180495 for urgent concerns.
Jilin province, with a population of over 24 million, faced a significant COVID-19 outbreak earlier this year, leading to travel bans.
Recent reports indicate that these restrictions are beginning to ease, and some businesses have resumed operations.
