Current reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Department of Health (DOH) reveal widespread and intense transmission of the Ebola Virus Disease in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. With this continuing development and with the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announcement to impose Alert Level 3 in mid-November, the POEA shall maintain no processing of returning workers to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, until proper coordination with DFA and DOH to ensure documentary requirements for processing provide measures that guarantee OFW protection.

For information and guidance.
