Shorter quarantine for more vaccinated travelers as Philippines names new 'green' territoriesMANILA, Philippines — The government's pandemic task force has updated its list of "green" or low-risk territories, allowing even more vaccinated travelers to go through a shorter quarantine period of seven days upon arrival in the Philippines. Unvaccinated travelers are typically required to undergo a 14-day quarantine in the Philippines. But inbound travelers from "green" territories and who are fully vaccinated only need to go through a seven-day quarantine and an RT-PCR test in a government-accredited facility on their fifth day, with their day of arrival already counted as the first day. Several entries which were included in the original list of "green" or low-risk territories first released by the task force on June 30 were removed from the updated version. Morente said the same arrivals protocol applies to passengers who were fully vaccinated in the Philippines.
