DAVAO CITY – Foreign nationals should observe existing quarantine protocols of the country as a “sign of discipline and accountability,” as the local government needs to protect its citizens from a possible spread of new variants of coronavirus disease, an official of the local task force on Covid-19 said.
Dr. Michelle Schlosser said during an interview over Davao City Disaster Radio on Friday that a negative RT-PCR test result would no longer suffice as the airport authorities require all travelers to be fully vaccinated. She said not obeying protocols “shows a foreign national is not responsible enough” to know what is prohibited in the country.But Second District councilor Al Ryan Alejandre, who chairs the committee on tourism, called on local authorities to review the existing protocols or travel restrictions concerning foreign visitors and investors now that Covid-19 cases are decreasing.
Data released by the National Economic Development Authority-Davao last February 7 showed that tourist arrivals in the Davao Region in 2021 were reported at 1,306,732, a decrease of 3.9% from 1,360,168 in 2020. Data showed the region received 1,062,000 visitors for the first quarter of 2020 just before lockdowns were imposed and flights were cancelled.
