Know.

Gladys.

Secretary.

I'm glad you're back on head start.

It's been a while.

Thank you for having us.

All right.

Big news.

Today, 400 Filipinos will be repatriated.

Take us through the steps that the government will be doing just to ensure that all Filipinos will remain safe.

So we have, um, health officials from the D O.

H.

And, um, from the FAA as well.

We have officials there on the ground in Japan.

Toe a company and see the repatriation on removed the ass more than yell.

So you know, Galahad tempera from preboarding Mullah preboarding maranon testing.

And make sure number one negative.

Some of the symptoms.

Yeah, So may testing and then but board during NASA plans continuous.

But in your monitor.

So just the clarification.

The Philippine government chartered its own plane.

Actually, another split human cost marks.

I sigh maritime shouldered most of the cost of unity.

Must shoulder know what size I really Penis and shoulder.

So, um, you chartered a plane?

I don't know what the arrangement was, I think.

Okay.

And then after So there was a 14 day quarantine in Japan as well.

But when they arrived in the Philippines, quarantine again again.

But that's close to a month.

Yeah, but we're an over abundance off precaution and gonna go on acting and use a shampoo.

11.

And I think the diamond Princess soon.

Bela, Bela affect in fact Co 19.

So there's still a lot off fear, no, even among the people in Tarlac Pannitto and then Shepherd Technology Ito back at the alien virus.

So over an abundance off caution and precaution, we're going to do a 14 day quarantine, okay?

From pre boarding up to the time they're on the plane up to the time that they disembarked, Borders may checking in the kingdom, new clerk, cities, athletesvillage, even constant monitoring.

And hopefully we will be a successful as our repatriates from Wuhan.

Who, by the way, all 30 report rates plus the 19 crew members.

The FAA officials are the FAA employees and do each employee's lot negative.

Yeah, 19.

But even after you mo Wonder patriots were released from new Clark City at its village, constant bringing monetary not in for 30 days are done.

Second gunman Daniel McGinn protocols that and Vito Sebago repatriates, which is about almost 400 less.

Okay, I think one good news to share is the fact that the Philippines, everything we're seeing has handled the Cupid 19 scare quite well in the sense that the numbers haven't been growing compared to other Asian countries.

Correct.

We have not had local transmission.

Thank goodness for that.

Hopefully we keep it at that.

No Eun three.

In fact, in the movie, they were all foreigners.

One sadly perished.

No, but to have already been cleared off.

Go Vic.

So so far, no local transmissions yet, but we're still continuing to monitor the situation.

But I mean, in a discharge, about 474 years on a discharge on remaining along in the hospitals admitted but still be you.

I sleep a positive young man say there's the patients under investigation 132 as of yesterday, so constantly monitoring nothing.

But I think we've been yes, we've been very successful and we hope to keep it that way now.

There's been a big effect on tourism globally because of the fear No, that comes with the cove in 19.

Recently, we've lifted the travel ban with Macao, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Let's start first with mainland China.

What are you looking for?

What is the government looking for toe, actually, either make changes in the ban.

Well, first of all, you at being banned in Hong Kong.

Macao and type is a temporary partial ban, huh?

Big Sabian Neon W's can go there.

No, in deep with the human.

So if w slammer at permanent residence Lama A and B.

But we were in China.

This is good that you've said this because I don't think everybody knows like I have.

I know people that are planning trips to Hong Kong, and I think you you shouldn't say this now.

No, baby.

Yeah, because Because they feel that because the ban's been lifted, they're not They're not actually segregating that.

It's just Oh, if W's going there permanent residents and left.

W see.

That's it.

Okay.

Okay.

Go on.

And then such Heinemann Champagne.

What we're looking at, um it's too early to say.

You know what we're gonna do with China?

Because right now, 77,000 positives cuvee $19 so I don't know at what point tie Oh, Muchas have been a temporary lifting, lifting and temporary deployment by know if W's continent a minute with W's not in mainland China.

So I think.

Safety first with 77,000.

I think what we're gonna look at for us to completely left the band would be, you know, a considerable and significant reduction in the number of cold cases.

China.

70 sevens.

Too much, Yeah, let's focus on China first.

No, because clearly will.

China is, I think, number two with tourists arrivals.

And then you have the U.

S.

At number three.

Number one is Korea.

But how has the ban affected?

For example, business.

I mean exports.

We export bananas toe to mainland China as far as bananas is concerned.

There was an initial concern about banana exports.

No, but I think the d.

T I has attributed this more to the Chinese New Year Lunar Lunar New Year, Uh, break no or holidays.

So go on.

No longer export small banana exporting companies and I don't know logistical problems, but it's back to normal as far as bananas concern.

And in fact, as far as agricultural exports are concerned that the problem is the government addressing issues coming from entrepreneurs and companies that actually import a lot of either raw material from China or actually, just frankly, retail.

I mean items they sell for retail that come from China.

That's what we're monitoring.

Idea what the effect is in terms of imports now because in terms of import, I think we really have to have a clear stand on cargo handling.

Some people are afraid.

Cargo coming from China is infected with Cove in 19 so I think that really has to be a clear stand on that.

And number two, we have to really monitor right now.

Go on.

Human imports that are affected coming from China because ideally imports should not trade ideally should not be affected.

Its cargo bay should not me.

If there is, I think it needs a host.

Yes, so if it's if it's an object, the question Now that I can't clear it, you know you need a doctor.

If it's an animal, what is the effect in the I mean there's a short amount of time, but by the time that import comes here, the Bosnian Eun you are.

But I think more no, uh, moment.

More significant issue businesses in China if they continue to operate given a 77,000 in fact that some businesses have shut down.

And so I think that's the more compelling.

Um, I am, er issue that you have to look at S O if, if affected, doing some imports.

D t I has to look for other import partners.

So, you know, in a Cessna Mignon Cohen Huma important items are affected.

And then we have to look for other areas, jurisdictions or countries where we can import these items.

But he must see that you supply value chain that then, especially when it comes to electronics.

Yeah, because not now, Secretary.

Are there countries that you are watching out for South Korea?

South Korea.

Okay.

South Korea.

Big long Tomasi villain.

Imola coded 19.

Positive.

No, I think they're attributing it.

Toe one church, a particular church in South Korea where in there was one attendee who apparently was busted for going with 19 and she effect infected a lot of the church doors there.

So no go on a song by locking Uncle Sam Garza, South Korea, which increased the number to about 800.

Yeah, Yeah, actually, the record.

You're right.

is 833.

So are you saying, Secretary?

Because this would be very big.

Are you saying that Mala can young is open or is thinking or might issue a travel ban with South Korea?

So the technical are the sorry.

The task force on Kobe 19 infectious disease.

A staff spores will be meeting tomorrow, and this meeting is crucial because tomorrow one of the things that we're gonna talk about South Korea Do we impose a travel ban in South Korea or not, or at what level or number off over 19 past lives.

Are we looking at for us?

Tow.

Make a decision?

No.

Is it?

Right now?

It's The number is 833.

Are we waiting for 1000?

Are we waiting for 900 or right now?

Do we imposed with another man?

And also what kind of band?

I mean, I want to ask you because South Korea is number one in terms.

Yeah, off our tourist arrivals.

And they're quite competitive that way.

Which is a good thing.

The question is, eyes the ban.

Are you banning Koreans from coming into the country, or are you banning Filipinos from going to South Korea.

So those are the things that we'll have to take into consideration and effects of that.

No.

So, obviously it will have a big dent on tourism granting that it's like you said Number one.

I think we have about two million Korean tourists coming every year.

They share 24% of the market of international tourists.

So it will be The good thing about the passport is the Department of Tourism is present there.

So Mommy, coming than doing the task force on D T I and John Andre and Energon and Doyle engine.

So we will look at it at all of these different no aspects.

The perspective will be in terms of three in terms of tourism in terms of all of these things.

Then we'll have to make a decision.

And the good thing about the task force is the Department of Health will say doing legal doing health implications, nap in your thinking, acting tourism implications.

Then we have to make a decision.

At what number at one point do we issue the travel ban?

Is it the entire Korea South Korea?

Is it just certain areas in South Korea if if you can center it on Mandy Tolokonnikova 19.

But first, the issue there is a panic.

All travel from this to that city.

So and then all the effect now and then.

Of course, you'll have to weigh health considerations with the tourism considerations and the economic repercussions.

And then we have to look at a new McGee mitigating.

No, not then.

Yeah, programs, nothing.
