ILOILO CITY (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The government will subsidise the cost of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) swab tests for Boracay Island visitors amid complaints of the high cost of going to the island.

The Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force agreed during a meeting on Boracay Island on Wednesday (Dec 2) to provide low-cost or free Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) tests for Boracay-bound non-Aklanon tourists.
