JAKARTA - The government has changed the term for the Implementation of the Java-Bali Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) to PPKM Level 3-4. This level PPKM rules contain provisions for traveling conditions for the community, both using private vehicles and public transportation.

However, aviation observer Alvin Lie, assessed that the policy would still be futile even if the terms were changed to levels. Because the international border gates are not closed.

"We still have the opportunity to be exposed to new variants, so the only thing to fix is the inside. It's like a leaking house where the water inside the house keeps draining out, but the leaky roof is not closed. It will rain again, it will leak again", said Alvin , Wednesday, July 21.

It is known that in the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 22 of 2021 concerning PPKM Level 4 Coronavirus Disease 2019 in the Java and Bali regions, provisions and areas that fall into the Level 3 and Level 4 categories are regulated. sea, air, and land.

Therefore, the former Ombudsman was surprised by the government's attitude of being so afraid to temporarily close all doors of international arrivals. Except for Indonesian citizens who need to return to Indonesia.

"All foreigners are closed first. One month, two months. In vain, we are still open to exposure to new variants. Not only airports should be closed, but international gates, sea and air", said Alvin.

The travelers as mentioned above must meet the following travel requirements:

1. Show their vaccination card (at least the first dose of vaccination);

2. Demonstrate PCR test result at least D-2 for aircraft and Antigen test (D-1) for private car, motorcycle, bus, train, and ship transportation modes;

3. The provisions as referred to in number 1) and number 2) only apply to arrivals and departures from and to Java and Bali and do not apply to transportation within the agglomeration area for example for the Jabodetabek area; and

4. Drivers of logistics vehicles and other goods transportation are excluded from the requirement to have a vaccine card
