JAKARTA - The Task Force for Handling COVID-19 issued a circular to tighten the mobility of Domestic Travel Players (PPDN) in line with the policy of banning Eid Al-Fitr 2021 homecoming.
The mobility tightening applies during the D-14 of the elimination of homecoming which takes place from April 22 to May 5, 2021, and D+7 on eliminating homecoming from May 18 to May 24, 2021.
Meanwhile, during the period of eliminating homecoming from 6 to 17 May 2021, there will still be a tightening of community mobility.
"The government is trying to learn from experience and is trying to design policies with the main principles of public safety and health, therefore it is stipulated that there is a temporary elimination of homecoming mobility which will take effect from 6-17 May 2021", said the Government Spokesperson for Handling COVID-19 Prof. Wiku Adisasmito in a press conference in Jakarta, Thursday, April 22.
The regulations are contained in the Addendum to Circular Number 13 of 2021 concerning the Elimination of Eid Al-Fitr Homecoming and Efforts to Control the Spread of COVID-19 during Ramadan which was signed by the Chairman of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), Doni Monardo, on Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
In this regulation, there are several groups of travelers who experience tightened mobility. Among them, air, sea, and land transportation travelers are required to show a negative result of the RT-PCR / rapid test antigen whose samples are taken within a maximum period of 1x24 hours before departure.
Travelers may also use a certificate of negative results for the GeNose C19 test at the airport before departure as a travel requirement and fill out Indonesia's e-HAC.
The provisions of a health certificate based on RT-PCR or GeNose are not mandatory for routine travelers by sea transportation for limited shipping within the area of one sub-district or district, province, or by land transportation, both private and public, within an urban agglomeration area. However, the COVID-19 Task Force will carry out random tests if necessary.
Meanwhile, children under 5 years of age are not required to take the RT-PCR test or rapid antigen test, or the GeNose C19 test as a condition of travel.
