BAGUIO CITY – Every Returning Overseas Filipino and
Overseas Filipino Worker (ROF/OFW) is issued a certification by the Department
of Health Bureau of Quarantine which no longer requires them to observe
mandatory facility-based quarantine.
This was revealed by City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office head Antonette Anaban during virtual management committee meeting of local officials Feb. 8, led by Mayor Benjamin Magalong.
She said the move was based on Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases Resolution No. 159, series of 2022 that provided several conditions for the ROF/OFW to strictly follow.
These are: Stay at home for seven days with the first day being the date of arrival; shall monitor for any sign or symptoms during the home quarantine period; and shall report to the local government unit of destination and their respective barangay health emergency response teams upon arrival at residence and upon manifestation of symptoms.
Anaban said the LGU through the City Mayor’s Office is automatically copy furnished the certification that is forwarded to the CDRRMO for coordination with district health centers and barangays for monitoring purposes.
