Reporter: Adi Wikanto |Editor: Adi WikantoKONTAN.CO.ID - Jakarta.The government has changed the travel rules again.Now, the latest travel regulations using public transportation, whether using trains, ships and airplanes are no longer required to show negative Covid-19 results from swab tests and PCR.As is known, the rules that apply so far state that the travel requirement is to show a negative Covid-19 result from a swab test or PCR.However, the latest travel regulations are no longer required to show swab and PCR test results.“Domestic travelers using air, sea, or land transportation who have carried out the second and complete dose of vaccination no longer need to show evidence of negative antigen or PCR tests.This is stipulated in a circular that will be issued by the relevant ministries and institutions, which will be published in the near future," said Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan in a press statement after attending a Limited Meeting (Ratas) on Evaluation Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) led by Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Joko Widodo) through a video conference, Monday (07/03/2022) afternoon.This change in travel rules is due to the condition and handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia which continues to improve, which is marked by a significant decline in the trend of national daily cases, as well as rates of hospitalization and death rates.The Covid-19 Handling Task Force recorded an additional 21,381 new cases of corona virus infection on March 7, 2022. Bringing the total to 5,770,106 positive cases of Covid-19 since the pandemic until March 7, 2022.Read also: Omicron stealth detected in Yogyakarta, these are the characteristics and symptomsMeanwhile, the number of those who recovered from the Covid-19 case as of March 7, 2022 increased by 48,800 people to 5,171,402 people.Meanwhile, the number of people who died from Covid-19 in Indonesia as of March 7, 2022, increased by 258 people to 150,430 people.The number of active Covid-19 cases in Indonesia on March 7, 2022 reached 448,274 cases, a decrease of 27,677 cases compared to the previous day.Last week, active cases of Covid-19 in Indonesia passed the 500,000 mark.Although positive cases of Covid-19 are high, the room occupancy rate in hospitals is quite low.Therefore, the government has prepared a number of new policies related to domestic travel requirements, sports competition activities, and trials for foreign travelers (PPLN) without quarantine.Meanwhile, all sports competition activities can be watched by spectators provided that they have carried out booster vaccinations and use the PeduliLindung application and the capacity is adjusted to the level of each region."With each capacity as follows: Level 4: 25%, Level 3: 50%, Level 2: 75%, and Level 1: 100%," said Luhut.In addition, through the Ratas it was also decided that there will be a trial of PPLN without quarantine which will be implemented in Bali starting March 7, 2022.The requirements that must be met for foreign travelers without quarantine are as follows: 1. PPLN who come must show a paid hotel booking that has been paid for at least 4 days or show proof of domicile in Bali for Indonesian citizens;2. The incoming PPLN must have been fully vaccinated/boostered;3. PPLN conducts the entry PCR test and waits in the hotel room until the negative test result comes out;4. PPLN again conducted the PCR test on the third day at their respective hotels;5. PPLN has or must still have health insurance that guarantees COVID-19 according to the provisions;6. International events held in Bali during the trial period implemented strict health protocols in accordance with G20 standards;7. Application of Visa on Arrival for 23 countries: ASEAN countries, Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, France, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Italy, New Zealand, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates;8. Tightening of health protocols and the use of PeduliLindung in various places;and 9. The booster acceleration in Bali will reach 30 percent in the next week."If this trial is successful, then we will release quarantine for all PPLN on April 1, 2022 or earlier than April 1," added the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.Closing his press statement, Luhut emphasized that every policy to handle the pandemic taken by the government was based on input from relevant experts and experts.The roadmap for the transition from pandemic to endemic will also continue to be carried out with the principle of prudence and carried out in stages, stages, and continuously to mitigate unwanted things."We need to emphasize that all the policies in the transition process that we will go through together are not carried out in a hurry.We must be ready to move towards a gradual transition process by implementing existing data-based policies.All efforts that exist today need to be supported by good community involvement and also qualified education that the government continues to carry out so that it will coexist with COVID-19 later, not just a slogan," he concluded.That is the latest information on travel rules and conditions that are no longer required to carry a negative Covid-19 result from a swab test or PCR as well as other policy easing.Hopefully the Covid-19 pandemic will be under control.#satgascovid19 #memorandums of mother #wearingmasker #jagajarak #jagajarakhindarikerumunan #washinghand #washinghandusingsoapCheck other News and Articles on Google News
