MANILA, June 4 (dpa): The Philippines on Friday relaxed quarantine protocols for international travellers who are fully vaccinated, but tourists will still not be allowed into the country.

Fully vaccinated travellers will now only need to stay in a quarantine facility for seven days, down from 10 days, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said.
