(Eagle News) — The Manila International Airport Authority has released its list of operational commercial flights for Saturday, March 20:
MIAA advised passengers to secure confirmation of their flights as only those with the same will be allowed entry into the airport premises.
The National Task Force Against COVID-19 has levelled travel restrictions anew, with foreigners, with exceptions, temporarily banned from entering the Philippines.
The imposition of the restrictions were amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, which the Department of Health has attributed to increased mobility, a failure to follow minimum safety protocols, exacerbated by the presence of virus variants.
The Octa research group has warned daily COVID-19 cases could hit 11,000 by the end of March if the surge continues unabated.
On Friday, the Philippines recorded 7,103 additional COVID-19 cases, the most cases reported in a single day in the country since the pandemic began.
