In the wake of reports that some OFWs reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 upon arriving in their home provinces, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque acknowledged that a person may still get infected during travel.“COVID-19 testing reflects the person’s health status only at the time of testing. Between the time a test is conducted and the time of arrival of an OFW or anyone travelling, the possibility of infection remains,” Roque explained.
“Having said this, we remind everyone to exercise all the precautions advised by health authorities during travel. Additional safety measures at the provincial or LGU level are likewise necessary to ensure that one is truly healthy and devoid of COVID-19,” he said.
