Zamboanga City will reimpose the RT-PCR test requirement for inbound travelers coming from areas under a higher coronavirus alert level starting January 12, 2022, to prevent the spread of the Omicron variant.
This rule applies regardless of a traveler's vaccination status and will be enforced at all entry points.
Travelers from areas with the same or lower alert level will not need a test result but may undergo random rapid antigen testing upon arrival.
The city government had previously reinstated the RT-PCR test requirement as a precautionary measure against the Omicron variant.
