LA TRINIDAD, Benguet: The municipal government recently imposed the online registration of locally stranded individuals (LSIs) and returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) prior to their entry to the municipality effective on August 17 to help in controlling the spread of the dreaded coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in the locality.
Under Executive Order 062, Mayor Romeo Salda said LSIs and OFWs wanting to go back to the municipality should first secure the appropriate medical clearance from the city or municipal health services office to be able to get travel authority from the police station from their points of origin.
He also advised LSIs and returning OFWs to visit the municipal government’s official website: www.latrinidad.gov.ph.
After registration, he said health workers would be immediately dispatched to check on the suitability of the residence for home quarantine while awaiting their call from the local government for the schedule of their return to the municipality.
The mayor disclosed that the required certificate of acceptance would be sent through email or messenger and that the LSIs and OFWs are advised to present received certificates of acceptance, either printed or through cellphone photo, at the checkpoint upon entry in the municipality.
