PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ruled out the implementation of a total border closure with China amid its rising Covid-19 cases.
“I’m sure we can find a way to—not completely close our borders to China but to find a way to have a procedure so that those coming from China who may have been exposed or who may have been infected will be tested,” he added. There has been a reported surge in Covid-19 infections in China after Beijing eased its zero-Covid protocols.
But he said they hope none of the members of the delegation will become infected since all precautions will be enforced during the visit.
