Fully vaccinated inbound travelers from green countries may skip quarantine upon arrival if they have a negative swab test result within 72 hours prior to departure from the country of origin. However, they are enjoined to self-monitor for symptoms until the 14th day.

Fully vaccinated Filipinos from these countries also have the option to stay in a quarantine facility until the release of a negative result of their reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test taken upon their arrival. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals have to undergo quarantine until the release of the negative result of their RT-PCR test taken on the fifth day.
