SWAB TESTING for Covid-19 is no longer a requirement for travelers coming to Cebu after Gov. Gwen Garcia signed Executive Order 43 containing the guidelines for those who want to travel to the province.
The order took effect on November 5 and for fully vaccinated travelers, they shall not be required to present any form of Covid-19 test such as RT-PCR or Antigen. When checking in for their flights, travelers shall only be required to present their tickets and passports or any form of valid identification.
However, unvaccinated travelers, though, are highly encouraged to take a Rapid Antigen Test within 24 hours before departing for Cebu, and those who are unable to do so shall be tested for free upon their arrival at the Mactan Cebu International Airport.
Garcia’s order emphasized that in no case shall a Rapid Antigen Test Result be a requirement prior to boarding for travelers bound for Cebu.
“All travelers, vaccinated or unvaccinated, need only present their ticket and passport or other valid identification card upon check-in. Any other requirement, such as Electronic Arrival Cards, shall only be presented upon arrival in Cebu,” according to Garcia’s order.
In the same order, Garcia reiterated that wearing of face masks shall be optional for all travelers bound for Cebu and the Mactan Cebu International Airport. (Cebu Examiner)
