Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo announced that President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered a ban on visitors from Hubei province in China as well as from other Chinese areas after the first case of the novel coronavirus (nCoV) was reported in the Philippines.
“Upon the recommendation of DOH Secretary Francisco Duque, the President has issued a travel ban to Chinese nationals coming from the Hubei province of China where the nCoV originated, as well in other places in China where the disease has spread,” said Panelo.
Earlier, the Bureau of Immigration has already stopped issuing tourist visas on arrival to Chinese nationals.
