The central government has officially decided to reduce the quarantine time for international visitors to 3 days.
The coordinator of the expert team and National Covid-19 Handling Task Force’s spokesman, Wiku Adisasmito confirmed that the central government has recently revised the quarantine policy for international visitors. “Visitors who have completed their Covid-19 vaccinations are only required to undergo 3 days of quarantine,” Wiku said during a virtual press conference on Tuesday (2/11).
Wiku explained that apart from the required time in quarantine, all other entry requirements will remain the same. According to the latest Covid-19 Handling Task Force’s Decree Number 20 Year 2021, the government has made adjustments to their travel policy such as :
- Visitors who have only received the 1st dose of Covid-19 vaccine are required to undergo 5 days of quarantine, while those who have completed their full vaccination are able to gain access after only 3 days of quarantine
- Visitors are required to take their 2nd PCR test on the 3rd day of their quarantine
Wiku also said that this adjustment was initiated after evaluating and listening to advise from experts in regards to the current situation. Apart from that, he admitted that this revision was made after considering the Covid-19 vaccine distribution in Bali. “This decision was made after considering the Covid-19 vaccination program that has been running pretty well here, so we can begin to revive our economy,” Wiku concluded.
