Indonesia Loosened Covid-19 Regulations: Terms and Conditions July 12, 2022 bizadmin 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.
