The United Kingdom on Saturday advised its citizens not to travel to the Philippines, unless their trip is considered "essential."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office cited the impact of the Philippine government measures being carried out to contain the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as the reason for that decision.
According the UK foreign affairs office, more than 200,000 British nationals visited the Philippines in 2018, most of which were "trouble-free."
