#DFAAdvisory:
Alinsunod sa unti-unting pagpapaluwag ng ilang mga bansa sa kani-kanilang
pinaiiral na mga paghihigpit ukol sa paglalakbay at mga pagtatakda upang
patuloy na labanan ang pagkalat ng coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
hinihikayat ng DFA ang lahat ng mga Pilipinong manlalakbay na sumangguni at
isaalang-alang ang mga sumusunod na talaan ng “Mga Paghihigpit sa Paglalakbay”,
na nagsasaad ng mga pangkasalukuyang ipinapataw na mga alituntunin ng
iba’t-ibang mga bansa sa Amerika, Asya at Pasipiko, Europa, Gitnang Silangan at
Africa.
Mangyaring
alalahanin na ang mga nakasaad na banyagang pagtatakda at alituntunin ay
maaaring mabago nang walang paunang patalastas o pasabi.
Dahil
dito, ang mga manlalakbay, kahit na may hawak na wastong visa o may nakumpirma
nang mga paglipad, ay pinapaalalahanan at pinapayuhang sumangguni muna sa
kinauukulang banyagang Embahada o Konsulado ng patutunguhan na bansa (at kung
kinakailangan, maging mga bansa ng daraanang paliparan o port ng transit) bago
mag-kumpirma o bumili ng ticket para sa paglipad o paglalakbay sa
ibayong-dagat.
Pinapayuhan
din ang ating mga kababayan na laging makipag-ugnayan sa kinauukulang airline
at tiyakin ng mabuti at ng maaga ang kani-kanilang mga takdang petsa ng
paglalakbay.
Sisikapin
ng DFA na agarang ipatalastas ang anumang mga pagbabago sa mga nabanggit at
ipinababatid na mga alituntunin ng iba’t-ibang bansa.

How to protect yourself from the coronavirus or COVID-19?
With the continual spread of the coronavirus or COVID19, it is better to stay vigilant and follow these simple ways to prevent yourself from getting the disease.
- Wash your hands with soap or use a hand sanitizer that contains alcohol with at least 70% solution.
- Sneeze and cough into tissues or the crook of your elbow. If you get mucus or spit on your skin, clean it off right away. Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick, especially people exhibiting respiratory symptoms and fever.
- Stay home when you're sick.
- Regularly and thoroughly clean surfaces, such as countertops and doorknobs, with a disinfectant.
- If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people and practice distancing yourself.
- For healthy people wear a mask only if you are caring for someone who is sick or a person with suspected COVID-19 infection. Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for the caregivers.
- If you choose to wear a facemask make sure it is covering your mouth and nose and leave no gaps between your face and the mask.
Take care and stay safe, everyone.
