BOQ follows IATF decision on ROFs' 3-day quarantine

The Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) will follow the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases' decision on reverting the quarantine period for returning overseas Filipinos (ROFs) who test negative to three days.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said the DOH would look into the proposal, stating they need more data while studying the Omicron variant.

Presidential Adviser Joey Concepcion urged the government to revert to the previous policy before December 15, citing concerns over Christmas plans and quarantine duration.
