Forum Support Old55 Posted December 29, 2020 Forum Support Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) From Ninoy Aquino International airport Facebook update 12/28/2020. The list will likely quickly expand to many more locations. Effective midnight of December 29, 2020, all passengers originating from the countries listed below will not be allowed to enter the Philippines. This is a precautionary measure put into place by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases in preventing the entry of second COVID-19 strain which was recently detected. The following countries include: United Kingdom South Africa Switzerland Italy Denmark Israel Hong Kong Spain Ireland Netherlands Singapore Lebanon Japan Canada Germany Sweden Australia France Iceland South Korea Passengers already in transit or who had been in any of the flagged countries within 14 days from entry into the Phils and who arrive before Dec. 30, 2020, will be allowed entry but they shall be subjected to strict quarantine and testing protocols (mandatory 14 day quarantine in OWWA and DOT accredited facilities) despite getting a negative RT-PCR result.

Forum Support Mike J Posted December 29, 2020 Forum Support Posted December 29, 2020 I would not be surprised to see that list of countries quickly grow. Seem like it was only a few weeks ago that it was "just" South Africa? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy79 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Give the rest of the World a few months of vaccinating the majority of their population and it may be a case of who will let anyone from the Philippines into their country. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a real crisis in Europe developing right now bigger than anything so far that's not going to go away till the vaccine is rolled out. That's not going to happen till summer Philippines hasn't even started vaccination yet and no firm dates and the shit that's hitting Europe now has hardly touched Asia The situation will be reversed before too long Asians will find it hard to get into Europe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's my cousin's wedding in May, which we hoped would also be my chance to introduce my wife C to my extended family and friends. Anyway, the problem here is to go back to the Philippines, rather than entering Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only OFW are allowed to leave the Philippines regardless of their destination that's the situation now Europeans are by and large not allowed to enter the Philippines that's the situation now Who knows what the situation will be in march Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
