The Department of Health (DOH) announced on Wednesday that one of the eight South African travelers had been located.

In a Viber message to reporters, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said, “The located ROF (returning overseas Filipino) is currently in-home quarantine, with a negative RT-PCR test and no symptoms.”

The unidentified travelers are among the 253 people who arrived in the country between November 15 and November 29, according to the DOH.

According to Vergeire, there are seven unidentified South African travelers who are all ROFs.

Three of them provided their agency’s phone numbers rather than their own.

One traveler provided an incorrect phone number, while another provided a phone number that was incomplete.

Meanwhile, the other two travelers were unreachable.

According to Vergeire, Republic Act 11332, also known as the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act, punishes people who intentionally provide incorrect contact information on health declaration forms.

“Once we sign (the) health declaration forms, we attest to it being true,” she explained.

“We’re constantly in contact with our local government units and other partners in order to be able to contact these individuals,” Vergeire said.
