JAKARTA - The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) said that the High Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), Rizieq Shihab, still has to carry out self-quarantine at his residence for two weeks or 14 days after arriving in the country.

"If Indonesian citizens and foreigners have brought negative PCR results from abroad and are declared valid by the officers of the Port Health Office (KKP) then the examination is declared not sick and there are no health risk factors, then they can continue their journey and undergo self-quarantine at their home or residence for 14 days, "Budi said when contacted by VOI, Friday, November 6.
