Again Issue Circular, Task Force: Travel Out Of Town By Private Vehicle Does Not Require Testing
JAKARTA - The Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 has again issued a circular regulating the requirements and criteria for people traveling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this Circular Number 9 of 2020 contains several criteria and requirements for people who want to travel. One of them, states that people who want to travel and use private vehicles do not need to carry out the test. They just need to follow health protocols such as wearing a mask, keeping their distance, and washing their hands diligently.
"Every individual who travels by private vehicle is responsible for his / her health, and is subject to and obeying the applicable terms and conditions," said a circular received by VOI on Saturday, June 27.
Meanwhile, for those who will use public transportation, they must meet at least three conditions when traveling. First, showing personal identity such as KTP or other valid identification.
Second, show a PCR test certificate with negative results or a Rapid-Test test certificate with non-reactive results that is valid 14 days at the time of departure.
"Third, show a symptom-free certificate such as influenza-like illness issued by the Hospital / Puskesmas Doctor for areas that do not have PCR and / or Rapid-Test facilities," read the letter signed by the Chair of the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19 Doni. Monardo on Friday, last June 26th.
Meanwhile, for those who have just arrived from abroad, each individual is required to immediately run the PCR test when they arrive in Indonesia.
However, the implementation of this test is excluded at the State Border Crossing Post (PLBN) which does not have the equipment. Instead, they still have to show a flu-free symptom certificate.
During the waiting time for the PCR test results, based on this circular, each person is required to undergo quarantine in a special quarantine accommodation provided by the government.
