JAKARTA - Public Relations Manager of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Cirebon, West Java, Suprapto said that starting Wednesday, March 9, it has imposed the waiver of the requirement for negative COVID-19 PCR tests and antigens for service users who have been vaccinated twice and boosters.

"Starting today, passengers who have been vaccinated twice and have boosters are not required to attach a PCR or antigen test," Suprapto said in Cirebon, quoted from Antara.

Suprapto said the new rules for train passengers are in accordance with the Circular (SE) of the Task Force No. 11/2022 and SE of the Ministry of Transportation No. 25/2022.

According to him, the regulation explains several requirements for train passengers, such as service users who have complete vaccines and boosters, so they are not required to show negative PCR or antigen tests.

Meanwhile, passengers who are still receiving the first dose of vaccine and will use long or medium-distance trains are still required to show PCR or antigen.

Likewise, passengers with comorbidities or comorbidities are required to show a doctor's certificate and are required to use PCR or antigen.

"The PCR letter is valid for 3 x 24 hours and the antigen test letter is valid for 1 x 24 hours," he said.

Meanwhile, children under 6 years old are not required to be vaccinated or required to be free from COVID-19, but must be accompanied by their parents. All passengers are in good physical condition and the temperature is not more than 37.3 degrees Celsius and 3 layers of medical masks.

"Meanwhile, for local train passengers and agglomerations with the same conditions, the minimum is the first dose of vaccine and there is no requirement for PCR or antigen tests," he said.
