The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Sunday said that its officers at the different airports and seaports are ready to implement possible travel restrictions for passengers from China in light of the surge of COVID-19 infections there.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said they will wait for the instructions of the Department of Health (DOH), the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, and the Office of the President regarding possible travel restrictions.
“While we have not received any directive yet about it, we are ready at any time to implement any such measures that the government deems appropriate to prevent another surge in the Philippines,” Tansingco said in a statement.
