Those covered by the ban are foreigners coming from South Korea’s North Gyeongsang province, including surrounding Daegu and Cheongdo, subject to exemptions.
Also temporarily banned from entering the Philippines are foreigners who, within 14 days immediately upon arrival in the Philippines, have been to North Gyeongsang, Daegu and Cheongdo.
