Jollygoodfellow Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 The building I lived in sourced these prices for rapid testing. I wonder why some are so much cheaper than others. For reference, we have sourced out hospitals and clinics near xxxxxx Cebu which offers Rapid testing. As per inquiry, below are the Hospitals and clinics which offers Rapid testing and their prices: Chong Hua Hospital Fuente Osmena / Mandaue - php 3,700 Cebu Doctor's Hospital - php 3,300 St. Vincent General Hospital - php 2,300 LH Prime Medical Clinic - php 1,200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy F. Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Are they all doing exactly the same test? IIRC some are more reliable than others. Various tests have an error rate of 15% to 50%. Edited June 8, 2020 by Guy F. Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 There are varying quality rapid tests and some of the cheaper ones from China have been shown to have low accuracy. Perhaps different tests are being used? I’d hope that the more expensive ones are also using better quality test kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I think temperature monitoring is done at the airport then you are meant to self quarantine for 14 days. As for regional airports arriving passengers each has many different requirements. Here's just one example and a link to find more/subject to change . This has quite a bit of info from tourisam board. Spoiler The following protocols should be strictly observed: Entry to Ilocos Norte requires the following: Checking for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; Filled out health declaration form and valid government IDs; Medical Clearance issued by a physician from place of origin; Latest original copy of negative RT-PCR from DOH-accredited laboratory; Endorsement to their home or resident LGUs; Clearance to enter issued by health authorities; Certificate of acceptance from the Municipal Health Officer of the LGU concerned; Mandatory 14-day quarantine; and Monitoring by the Barangay Health Emergency Response teams (BHERTs) Coordination with their respective LGUs is necessary to return to their hometown in the province of Abra. Further, the returnees shall undergo a 14-day quarantine in the Municipal Isolation Unit upon their arrival. For departing passengers for local flights, the province of Abra issues a Special Travel Pass with supporting documents (i.e. flight details, medical certificate, and proper identification). The applicant is a returning resident of the province, student, local workers, including the "Back Town" in the country and there are relatives in Cagayan but their return province has been canceled due to quarantine protocols. Must have a Gmail account to enter Google Forms Application. Email addresses must be valid because your BORDER PASS will be sent if your application is approved. Make sure you have any of the following government-issued ID card stating your residence in the province: School ID Passport Billing Statement Certification from Barangay that he is a legitimate resident of such barangay in Cagayan Statement under oath from a family member (Optional) Test result (when undergoing a test) such as antibody test results and other tests related to COVID19 You need to get a HEALTH CERTIFICATE from the area where you are currently in before proceeding with your application. Make sure the information provided is CORRECT to avoid delay in approval of your application. Answer all required and relevant questionnaires. Your application depends on the action your hometown will take. Please wait for the confirmation and check your email account often. The town (where you go home) will decide on your approval and your application travel period. Wait for the BORDER PASS to be sent to your email. It can be printed or saved on your cellphone and shown to the people in the provincial border checkpoints. REMINDER: After getting your CAGAYAN BORDER PASS, you still need to get a TRAVEL PASS (Wait for the DILG notice while it is being processed). General guidelines to be observed upon entry at the border of Sinait, Ilocos Sur: Present a health certification permit that passenger is fit to travel. Fill out an entry form specifying travel history, flight details, destination, contact details, and other relevant information. Undergo sanitizing protocol (like use of alcohol disinfectant). Undergo temperature screening. Observe social distancing measures of at least 2 meters. The following are the guidelines for the repatriation of Locally Stranded Individuals (LSIs) and Returning Overseas Filipinos (ROFs) when traveling to and from their respective jurisdictions in the province of La Union: Holding area will be maintained by the Bohol Airport management. Luggage of the LSIs and ROFs shall remain in their possession during the period of their quarantine. Cough etiquette should be observed (DOH protocol).
