New Quarantine Measures for Foreigners Who Arrive in Indonesia

jpnn.com, JAKARTA - The Covid-19 task force has set the latest quarantine rules for foreign nationals who come to Indonesia.

Covid-19 task force public communications head Hery Trianto said foreigners must quarantine in designated spots or certain hotels recommended by the task force.

This also applies to foreign diplomats, except for chief representatives and their families.

"Chief representatives and their families serving in Indonesia can carry out self-quarantine at their respective home for 10 days," Hery said in a statement, Tuesday (21/12).

Travelers arriving in Indonesia are required to get PCR re-examination.

Those who are confirmed positive for Covid-19 are required to undergo treatment at the hospital.

"For Indonesian citizens, all costs are borne by the government and for foreigners, the costs are entirely borne by themselves," continued Hery.

In the case where foreigners cannot finance the quarantine and hospital treatment independently, their sponsor or relevant institution that gives the foreigners an entry permit will be responsible for it. (mcr9/mcr20/jpnn)
