Philippines extends travel restrictions on 10 countries until August 31

The Philippine government on Friday extended the travel restrictions on 10 countries for 15 more days due to the growing threat of the more transmissible Delta variant.

Inter-Agency Task Force spokesperson Harry Roque said the travel ban on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia will be in place until Aug. 31.

The ban was supposed to lapse on July 31, but the government has issued several extensions.

The country has detected at least 627 cases of the Delta variant.
