Philippines lifts ban on workers deploying to Saudi Arabia
The Peninsula
Manila: The Philippines on Saturday said the country's workers could again go to work in Saudi Arabia, reversing a brief deployment ban after the kingdom said they would not be charged for COVID-19 tests and quarantine on arrival.
"Our Saudi-bound workers will no longer be disadvantaged," said Labour Secretary Silvestre Bello. Flag carrier Philippine Airlines said it will accept Filipino workers on flights to Dammam and Riyadh, waiving rebooking fees for passengers who had been unable to board because of the deployment ban.More Related News
