The Department of Health announced that the One Health Pass has been changed to a new electronic arrival card after several complaints from travelers were received.
This was the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases , said DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire. Vergeire said that the OHP is requesting too much data from travelers. Also, travelers are not allowed to board the plane if they do not upload their OHP.“Kakaunting datos nalang ang nakalagay diyan. Wala na pong masyadong hinihingi na requirements. Pangalawa, kung hindi mo ma upload yan, meron tayong special lane sa ating mga airports kung saan pagdating mo, ia-assist ka nila, doon ka magu-upload, at doon mo makukuha ang eArrival card mo ,” said Vergeire.
Binay asked the agencies concerned to “look into simplifying the processes that visitors have to undergo as the tourism industry looks to recover from the pandemic.” She added that several “overseas Filipino workers have been complaining that the process of verifying the OHP has led to long lines in the country’s airports.”
