tv MANILA - Some repatriated overseas Filipino workers left quarantine facilities before they received their coronavirus test results, the Philippine Coast Guard said Sunday.
"Noong mga unang araw, may nakatakas eh, na hindi ino-honor yung quarantine procedure. Na-test siya, pero wala pang resulta at biglang tumakas," he told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo. Meantime, OFWs who have received negative test results and quarantine clearances were urged to avail of free rides to their home provinces, according to Balilo.
Balilo said the return of cleared OFWs to their respective home provinces is already coordinated with local officials to spare them from such inconveniences as being refused entry or being forced to undergo another 14-day quarantine.
