Malay Acting Mayor Frolibar Bautista issued the warning after three of six visitors who presented fake COVID-19 tests were found to be infected with the viral respiratory disease.
The three patients are already placed under quarantine and will be facing charges for violation of quarantine protocols, he added.
Bautista said the local government will pass a resolution declaring those who fake their COVID-19 test results as persona non grata and will no longer be allowed entry to the island.
Local authorities are also looking into proposals for hotels to verify guests’ COVID-19 tests before confirming their bookings.
