The national government’s quick declaration of travel ban and imposition of border control helped in preventing the entry of the Omicron coronavirus variant in the country, said a public health advocate.

“Higit na mabilis ngayon [ang pagdeklara ng travel ban]. At bigla na lang rin tayong nagbago ng quarantine [protocols] natin, at nag-ingat ang lahat ng tao ,” said Dr. Anthony “Tony” Leachon in a DZRH interview on Sunday, Dec. 12.
