Indonesia Loosened Covid-19 Regulations: Terms and Conditions

Several countries, such as the UK, Norway, and Sweden, have imposed the loosening of pandemic regulations. Still, a question for many people is whether there should also be rules loosened in Indonesia regarding the Covid restrictions.

Currently, the cases of Covid in Indonesia have decreased, and daily activities have almost returned to normal. However, countries that have loosened these Covid regulations have the primary considerations in doing so.

 

Loosening Covid Regulations in Several Countries

As mentioned earlier, the Government loosened Covid regulations in several countries based on three main conditions. These requirements include a low mortality rate, health services readiness, and high-dose vaccination coverage.

Cases of positive patients, which previously increased sharply, have now experienced a significant decline. Although the positive cases have decreased, the death rate is still not low compared to the previous one.

The number of deaths due to Covid in several countries varies. For example, the number of fatalities in Norway has increased even higher than in the previous wave of Covid.

Not only the Covid cases, but the total dose of the vaccine must be more than 70% of the population. Then finally, there is a guarantee of services and health facilities in the community.

 

Loosening Covid Regulations in Indonesia

What about the loosening of Covid regulations from time to time in Indonesia? Is it significant enough like other countries? In this case, of course, we must first look at the three main conditions that also apply in other countries.

Indonesia must first look at how far its readiness towards implementing relatively safe community activities is. Judging from the cases, the decline of positive patient cases has decreased sharply.

Indonesia has passed the peak of positive cases in last year’s second wave. The death rate also has decreased compared to the previous one.

Moreover, the bed occupancy rate in the hospital is relatively low compared to the previous wave of Covid. The total dose of vaccine coverage is almost 70% of the vaccination target set by the Ministry of Health.

By increasing the booster vaccine, community immunity is still being carried out.

 

Loosening Covid Regulations for Foreign Tourists

In terms of loosening the Covid regulations in Indonesia, currently, they are at the point of consideration in terms of quarantine for foreign tourists entering Indonesia.

The procedure for entering Indonesia is relatively strict when the number of positive cases of Covid is still very high. However, this has a direct impact on the tourism sector in Indonesia. The consideration is that there is no need for quarantine for tourists who have done a complete vaccination.

So visitors from 23 countries, including the US, the Netherlands, Australia, and Germany, who meet the requirements can come to Indonesia simply by obtaining a visit visa.

Seeing that community activities in various sectors are starting to return to normal, the loosening of Covid regulations has slowly begun to affect those sectors in Indonesia.

The Top 10 Cruise Lines

The Top 10 Best Cruise Lines

The internet is full of information and I came across this topic of the Top 10 Best Cruise Lines in 2020 and beyond. After the home-bound restriction and movement control order due to Covid-19 that has ravaged the world economy, it may be time to go for that long awaited cruise, where you can search online here >> https://www.top10bestcruiselines.com

For instance, 1 week’s cruise is certainly relaxing and if you bring your child/children along, they will certainly enjoy the swimming pool on the deck with jacuzzi while the adults or parents can dine or rest by the deck chairs to keep an eye on their excited kids. There are many stage shows to entertain the passengers round the clock. These patrons will be spoilt for choice of many high-end restaurants that cater to the Westerners, the Asians and the Indians. Sometimes, the restaurants are themed with some being free while for others, you will have to pay to avoid the long queues.

Going for a cruise is certainly relaxing and rejuvenating. It is an experience to behold! Instead of buying that expensive Birkin bag to show off. why not spend the money wisely to go for a cruise in an exotic place?

Breathtaking View of Cenang Beach Bay Overlooking The Andaman Seas in Langkawi from a Helicopter that we Took

Above was a fun helicopter ride that we took from a 4-star hotel in Langkawi that we stayed for a project there years ago. The view was breathtaking and simply awesome in the Robinson R44 helicopter that seats 4 people at the most.

Before the trip, we had to fill up a form stating our height and weight. If you are deemed too heavy, you are not allowed to try the ride on air as there is a maximum load limit that the Robinson R44 helicopter can accommodate. One can enjoy the panoramic views of the Langkawi island, surrounding mountains, and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea.😎😎😎

Above is a video taken by yours truly and assembled together in an iPhone App for posterity. All in all, the 5-10 minutes short trip in the air cost $500 for 2 persons. We had to wait in the hotel lobby by 9:00 am where a van will fetch us to the helipad waiting area to fill up forms and state our weight. So sorry, you guys who are severely obese. You cannot try this at all. So, it is a motivation to lose weight for a healthier BMI and longevity with less sickness.

My Trip to China – Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou and Wuzi

China trip in September 2019

A post shared by DTan (@philin135) on

I was in China recently from 20th – 25th September 2019 and stayed 1 night at Sama Sama Hotel Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) for 1 night. It was a 5-star hotel costing about $700 per night. The most affordable voucher to China was $750 for 2 pax, covering hotel stay of at least 3 stars and ground tour. The tour guide and local guide was a separate charge. From Penang International Airport, we caught the 6:20 am boarding time flight from Air Asia to KL and took a Grab car to Sama Sama Hotel, where we booked online.

The flight by Air Asia to Hangzhou International Airport took about 5 hours from KLIA. Upon reaching the airport in China, we met up with our tour guide Meng Siao Lee where we waited about 30 minutes for the rest of the tourists from Malaysia to disembark. There were a total of 30 people from Malaysia.

Without the tour guide, we would have been lost, considering China is big and so many places of interest to see. However, what I did not enjoy was that the whole trip was in Mandarin, which was Greek to me. And my spouse did not do much job of translating to me other than occasionally, but I missed out on the jokes, etc. This, of course, was hard to explain, I guess, for him.

That’s me in navy blue wind-breaker or jacket with my partner. The scenic places were an experience to behold, especially Shanghai, with the kinetic lights all across the entire street of buildings in a row. It is a pity we missed the Shanghai Disneyland, which was not part of the itinerary, but I had been to Disneyland in California many years back. So, instead of buying things, I rather pay for the experience that is rich in culture, food, and architecture.

Oh Shanghai!

I was in Shanghai from 20th to 25th September 2019 and still feel the lethargy of waking up early every morning just to catch the guided tour. We flew from KLIA to Hangzhou International Airport and waiting for the rest of the group to arrive from Malaysia. There was a mix of tourists from Penang, Ipoh to JB. Above is a short movie of the kinetic lights that span mega buildings in a straight row of the long road.

Here is another video that I shot during the tour in Shanghai, touted to be the next world financial center. I was amazed at the moving lights depicting Disney’s cartoons, as they have a Disneyland there in Shanghai, with flying birds and fancy colors of animations with music for a long time to entertain foreign tourists.

Rainbow kinetic lights at Hangzhou

A post shared by DTan (@philin135) on

Above is the famous Bund, where revelers dine and watch the river or mouth of the sea with rainbow animated lights, as shown above. The experience was just intriguing. Well, I guess the money was worth it, and this is my second time in Shanghai. The first time, I met my second sister, who was then the head of the English Business Department working in Suzhou. Well, she is now happily married armed with a PhD in English Literature from Southampton University. I’m proud of her.

I was in China from 19th to 25th September 2019 where we stayed at Sama Sama hotel in KLIA for 1 night with take away breakfast since we had to skip the buffet breakfast to catch the early morning flight from Air Asia to Hangzhou International Airport, which requires 5-hour flight. The above was the tour group that followed in this particular tour.

We went to Hangzhou, Suzhou, SHanghai and Wuzi. Shanghai was beautiful with the fancy lights by the river showing Singapore’s DBS and UOB buildings as well. We took a boat trip to see the mega lights and I also snapped some videos of the trip. Due to privacy, I shall not put too much information here, but suffice to say that we went to West Lake in Hangzhou where I previuosly saw a live performance by the lake entitled, “Lady White Snake”, where tickets were bought by 2nd sister’s colleague, Miki. That was before 2nd sis was married in Southampton and was working in Suzhou for 5 longs years to save up for her PhD studies in the UK.

She is settle down there and very happy, apparently not coming back, despite the chaos of Brexit in the UK and anti-China sentiments in Hong Kong.
