LGUs to implement home quarantine for returning OFWs
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año announced that all local government units have agreed to implement home quarantine for returning overseas Filipino workers instead of isolating them from their residences.
Año assured that returning OFWs are negative for coronavirus disease 2019 based on test results obtained after a mandatory 14-day quarantine.
The DILG warned LGUs against rejecting OFWs who have the necessary certificates and documents proving they are free from COVID-19, emphasizing that such actions violate the Bayanihan To Heal as One Act.
