The Philippine government lifted travel restrictions on Taiwan last February 14 or five days since the travel ban was imposed due to the COVID-19, which is a name given by the World Health Organization on the novel coronavirus that originated in China.
According to Palace officials in a recent report, the travel ban was lifted because the government had already imposed strict measures and quarantine protocols to control the spread of the COVID-19.
