According to Dr. Mary Jean Loreche, spokesperson of DOH-7, they have started running swab tests for free for incoming Filipino travelers from abroad last March 31, 2021.

The initiative will allow OFWs and returning residents to be able to go home quickly instead of spending time longer at the quarantine facilities.
