Grammatically, I think that there should be a comma before "starting Wednesday". I take it to mean:
All travelers arriving from the Philippines will be quarantined at official quarantine locations, which starts Wednesday.
↓
All travelers arriving from the Philippines will be quarantined at official quarantine locations, starting Wednesday.
However, I have got so many hits like this use on the Internet. It seems that no comma before "starting" is widely acceptable and used. What do you think?
