Hong Kong, which was on the "green" list, was moved to the "yellow" list after two cases of the Omicron variant were reported there. International travelers arriving from Hong Kong "shall comply with the testing and quarantine protocols for 'yellow' list countries," Nograles said. They, however, must undergo facility-based quarantine for 14 days with testing on the seventh day, notwithstanding a negative RT-PCR result. The IATF also approved the temporary suspension of testing and quarantine protocols for "green" areas until December 15. Even with the detection of the new Omicron variant, vaccinations will continue to protect Filipinos, he said.
