Duque not consulted on scrapping quarantine for fully vaxxed travelers

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said on Thursday that he was not consulted when officials decided to remove the mandatory quarantine period for fully vaccinated travelers from 'green list' countries.

Duque, who supports a five-day facility quarantine followed by testing and home quarantine, stated his concerns would be raised during an IATF meeting later in the day.

Other officials like vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. and Interior Secretary Eduardo Año were also absent during the decision-making process.
