BLISTT border control

January 9, 2021 Metro BLISTT

The chief executives of the BLISTT (Baguio City, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba, and Tublay) continue their efforts to mitigate the spread of #COVID19. Border checkpoints will again be enforced from January 10 to 24.
This is to address the high daily attack rate of the virus and the positivity rate in tests. Travel restrictions are once again limited to official business and access to essential goods and services.
Everyone passing through any of the border checkpoints must present a health declaration form as well as a valid government ID as proof of residence. Exemptions are afforded to uniformed personnel, members of the city, provincial, and municipal contact tracing teams, members of the COVID task force, LGU and government agency personnel. Logistics and services providers for water, electricity, ICT, and waste management will be given unhampered passage through the checkpoints.
To prioritize health and safety, the mayors urge everyone to limit their movement and activities particularly senior citizens, children and, the immunocompromised.
The mayors continue their efforts for increased testing and contact tracing capacities.
