The ban was ordered by the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) effective February 4, said Thursday by ICF spokesperson and corrections technical officer II Levi Evangelista to Palawan News.
Evangelista said it also covers family members of inmates with coughs and colds and flu who will visit their subcolonies.
Dr. Audie Cipriano, chief of the medical professional staff of the ONP, said Saturday in an interview with Palawan News that the 10-year-old Brazilian girl arrived at 1 a.m. with her family from El Nido and was immediately isolated.
