COVID-19: New temporary travel restrictions

IMPACT – HIGH

Indonesia has implemented new international and domestic travel restrictions to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Key points:

• Air travel is banned until June 1; sea travel is been banned until June 8.
• Exceptions are in place for cargo transportation, repatriation flights for Indonesian and foreign nationals and travel by state officials, diplomatic staff and representatives of international organizations.

Background: Indonesia first restricted travel in February in response to COVID-19, banning entry for travelers from mainland China. In March, travel restrictions were expanded and, in the beginning of April, most foreign nationals were banned from entering the country.
