MANILA, Nov 28 (dpa): The Philippines will reopen its borders to some foreign tourists starting December 1, but immediately had banned on Friday arrivals from South Africa and seven neighbouring countries due to a new variant of the coronavirus.

After nearly two years since closing borders due to the pandemic, the Philippines will allow the entry of fully vaccinated tourists from countries and territories with low numbers of Covid-19 cases and high vaccination rates from December 1 to 15, presidential spokesman Karlo Nograles said.
