Vaccinated Tourists
Acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles said that fully vaccinated nationals of non-visa countries also do not need to undergo quarantine upon arrival. However, they must show negative results of their RT-PCR tests taken 72 hours before departing the country of origin.
If these travelers fail to comply with the test-before-travel requirement, they shall go through facility-based quarantine until the release of the result of an RT-PCR test taken on the fifth day, he added.
