MANILA - Arriving international passengers at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport are encouraged to adhere to strict health protocols, its operator said Friday.

Although all international commercial flights remain suspended, international passengers arrive through international sweeper flights, or rerouted flights from Manila, MCIA said in a statement.

List of protocols for arriving international passengers:

    - Completed forms from the Bureau of Quarantine including: health declaration form, patient profile sheet (2 copies), passenger undertaking form, case investigation form for COVID-19, laboratory request form, OWWA project case form (for OFWs)
  • All passengers must undergo COVID-19 RT-PCR swab test upon arrival and MCIA. Results are available within 24 to 48 hours from the time the last passenger on the same flight gets tested.

Arriving international passengers should refer to the step-by-step guide provided by the MCIA:
