               Gov. Joy Bernos reiterated that prior to entering the province, they must secure medical certificate from the rural health unit where they have stayed, and a certificate of 14-day quarantine completion. 

The Provincial Task Force will strictly monitor and record the entry of people in the province. At the entry point of the province in Tangadan, San Quintin, the LGUs will provide free service vehicles to bring their residents to their respective areas.

Bernos clarified that they will be automatically housed at the isolation units in their municipalities for another 14 day quarantine before finally allowed to go home to their families.
