Travelers from Indonesia will be barred from entering the Philippines from July 16 to July 31 to prevent the spread and community transmission of COVID-19 variants in the country.
Nations already listed in the travel ban are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, UAE, and Oman.
Passengers already in transit from Indonesia within 14 days immediately preceding arrival to the Philippines, who arrive before July 16 may still be allowed to enter the country.
However, these passengers will be required to undergo a full 14-day facility quarantine even after getting a negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) result.
