Philippines extends travel ban until July 31
The Philippine government on Wednesday announced the extension of its ban on travellers from the UAE and six other countries.
The Covid-driven travel restriction — which has been in place since May and was supposed to end on July 15 — covers India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Oman.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said the Philippines’ Inter-Agency Task Force has now been directed to review travel protocols and recommend testing and quarantine procedures for travellers from the seven countries.
