All foreign travelers — regardless of nationality — who have visited China, Hong Kong or Macau within the previous 21 days would be barred from entering the Philippines, the office said in a statement. On Sunday, Philippine authorities banned all travelers from China, Hong Kong and Macau, one day after a Chinese national from Wuhan, China — ground zero of the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak — died in the Philippines, becoming the first fatality outside of China. “Failure to secure and submit the Entry and Exit Record may result in the outright disapproval or denial of the application for visa without refund of the processing fee,” it said. The Entry and Exit Record would be returned to Taiwanese travelers with an official stamp and would need to be presented to Philippine immigration officials along with their visa to enter the nation, it added. The Entry and Exit Record would provide proof of inbound and outbound dates to check if Taiwanese have recently traveled to the banned areas, it said.
