It was also resolved by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), according to Roque, that overseas Filipino workers (OFW) will only be able to present Philippine Oversees Labor Office (POLO) validations as proof of vaccination status, with applications for validation to be accepted by the POLOs starting in the first week of July 2021.

OFWs who can show international certificates of vaccination (ICVs) would be able to use the green lanes as early as July 1, 2021, assuming they meet all other criteria, according to the official.

Following an announcement made on Tuesday, Roque said that incoming travelers who have received a complete dose of Covid-19 vaccine in a “green” country would only be required to spend seven days in a quarantine facility upon their arrival in the Philippines.

As part of its Resolution 123-C, which was adopted on June 28, the International Air Transport Federation-European International Development (IATF-EID) decided to reduce the quarantine time for incoming passengers from “green” nations if they had previously received the two Covid-19 injections.

According to IATF-EID Resolution 123-C, “green” nations are those that have been designated by the Department of Health (DOH) as “‘low-risk countries or jurisdictions based on illness incidence rate.’ “

In accordance with the decision, fully vaccinated visitors in “green” nations must carry formal proof of complete immunization verified via the POLO or show their ICVs, whichever is appropriate.

Initially, the IATF-EID only permitted fully vaccinated people to stay seven days in a quarantine facility upon their arrival in the country, and this was in accordance with international standards.

Even after receiving a full vaccination in the Philippines, those who travel abroad are required to carry their vaccination card, which should be verified before leaving the country by a certification issued by the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s Certificate of Vaccination Record Portal or the City Health Officer of the local government unit that administered the full vaccination.

During their stay in an isolation facility, fully vaccinated people are subjected to rigorous symptom monitoring by the Bureau of Quarantine (BoQ), pursuant to the most recent resolution of the International Association of Tropical Diseases (IATF-EID).

Individuals who have completed their vaccinations are also expected to participate in self-monitoring for an additional seven days after their quarantine period.

According to the IATF-EID resolution, they must also undergo a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test on their fifth day in the quarantine facility for the aim of collecting local data on outbreaks of illness.

If you are not covered by the most recent testing and quarantine procedures, you will be required to remain in a quarantine facility for ten days and follow home quarantine guidelines for an additional four days after that.
