Mayor Beng Climaco, who chairs the local Covid-19 task force, said just like all other travellers entering
Zamboanga City must have negative Covid-19 results – whether by Saliva RT-PCR
test or nasopharyngeal RT-PCR test.
Climaco said the
Department of Health and the national
government’s Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging
Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) have yet to release or come up with guidelines on travels of vaccinated individuals.
She
earlier issued Executive Order 651-2021 that mandates all inbound passengers,
whether APOR (Authorized Persons Outside Residence) or private individuals,
regardless of reason or purpose of entry, including transit travellers to
present negative RT-PCR test result within 5 days from date of specimen
collection, whether swab test or Saliva RT-PCR test, together with their valid
identification cards to entry into Zamboanga City.
“These
are temporary measures designed to curb the sudden spike in Covid-19 cases in
order to promote the health and safety of the general welfare of the citizens,”
the mayor said, adding, the executive order took effect April 22 and shall
remain in force until lifted, amended or superseded. (Zamboanga Post)
