Wala may problema, mura g nagbakasyon sila kay beach resort man. Madugay-dugayan pero libre na sila kaon, libre kwarto (It is not a problem because it’s like they are on vacation as our isolation facilities are in a beach resort. You might be put on hold for a bit longer, but they are provided free food and accommodation),” Uy said in an interview on 87.5 FM Davao City Disaster Radio on Thursday, May 13, 2021.
May 05, 2021 AMONG the increased border control in Davao Region is the requirement of a negative RT-PCR test result. At present, the Regional Inter-Agency Task Force (RIATF) and Davao City have existing regulations on this. Here is a rundown of these policies.
First we have the RIATF-RTF-Davao Resolution 01 series of 2021.
This policy covers LGUs in Davao Region Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao de Oro, Davao Occidental, and Davao City that share a border with towns or cities in other regions.
According to the resolution, which was approved by the members of the RIATF and the Regional Task Force Against Covid-19 (RTF) on May 3, a negative RT-PCR test will be required for lad travelers who are tourists that are not residents of Davao Region and returning residents who are non-authorized person outside residence (non-Apor).
