Philippines

A State of Public Health Emergency has been declared in response to coronavirus (COVID-19). Expect additional health screening at entry points. If authorities suspect you're infected, you may need to stay in hospital or be quarantined. Talk to your doctor before travelling. Monitor your health and follow the advice of local authorities. The Philippines has an ongoing travel ban on China, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as North Gyeongsang (South Korea). The State of Emergency declaration has prompted some governments to impose travel restrictions on people travelling from the Philippines. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Israel and Palestine, Nepal, Fiji and Seychelles have announced varying degrees of restrictions.

We haven't changed our level of advice.

Exercise a high degree of caution in the Philippines overall.

Higher levels of advice are in place for some parts of the country.
