Department
of Tourism (DOT) is confident on Department of Health (DOH) measures to prevent
the entry of Ebola virus that can reach the island of Boracay.
DOT
Regional Director for Region VI, Atty. Helen Catalbas said, “The residents
should not bother on the statements and rumors about the outbreak of the Ebola
virus and the continued influx of visitors to the island.
According
to her, although there is no recorded case of Ebola virus here in the
Philippines, the DOH is having the awareness campaign in different airports
together with the Bureau of Human Quarantine to prevent the spread of the
deadly virus.
Meanwhile,
the World Health Organization (WHO) first declared an international emergency
outbreak of Ebola virus in West Africa, in order to control the epidemic.
