Philippines restricts travel ban to Iran, Italy
On Saturday, March 14, the Philippines modified its travel ban to restrict entry from travelers coming only from Iran and Italy.
This change backtracks from President Rodrigo Duterte's earlier announcement on Thursday, March 12, which aimed to ban all foreigners from countries with localized transmissions of COVID-19.
The new restrictions are in addition to existing bans for Filipino tourists and non-Filipinos from China, Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of South Korea.
