Residents Who Can Travel During Homecoming Should Not Be Isolated 5 Days Using Their Own Money

Despite having bagged negative COVID-19 test results as a condition of travel, Wiku said this isolation is necessary to anticipate transmission during the trip. Then, the cost of isolation is also borne by yourself.
"Quarantine is carried out fasiilitas areas and hotels that apply prokes strictly using independent costs," said Wiku.
The reasons excluded in the ban on Eid al-Fitr 2021 homecoming are for work/business travel, sick family visits, funeral visits of deceased family members, pregnant women accompanied by one family member, and the interests of childbirth accompanied by a maximum of two people.
Then, people traveling across cities/districts/provinces/countries during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr must have a print out written travel permit or SIKM as a requirement to travel.

"For private employees attach a print out written permission letter from the head of the company that is equipped with the signature of the head of the company as well as the identity of prospective travelers," he said.
Then, for informal sector workers attach a print out written permission letter from the head of the village / lurah equipped with a wet signature / electronic signature of the head of the village / lurah as well as the identity of prospective travelers.
Meanwhile, for the general public non-workers attach a print out written permission letter from the head of the village / lurah equipped with a wet signature / electronic signature of the head of the village / lurah as well as the identity of prospective travelers.
