IATF sets new testing, quarantine rules for inbound travelers

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has approved new testing and quarantine protocols for arriving international passengers from countries, territories, and jurisdictions in the 'green' and 'yellow' list effective December 3.

Fully vaccinated individuals are required to have a negative RT-PCR test conducted within 72 hours prior to departure and undergo facility-based quarantine with an RT-PCR test on the fifth day after arrival.

Regardless of the result, they must also complete home quarantine up to the 14th day from their date of arrival.
