The Spokesperson for the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Jodi Mahardi, stated that all foreign citizens (WNA) entering Indonesia must have a card/proof of COVID-19 vaccination starting July 6, 2021.
"All foreigners who come to Indonesia, starting July 6, 2021, must show a vaccine card (fully vaccinated) and a negative PCR result for COVID-19 before entering Indonesia," said Jodi quoting the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Panjaitan in a written statement quoted from Antara, Sunday (4/7).
However, exemption from vaccination certificates is granted to diplomats and visiting foreign officials at the ministerial level in accordance with diplomatic relations practices that are also applied by other countries.
Still quoting Luhut's statement, Jodi said that Indonesian citizens who will enter Indonesia but do not have a vaccine card must first show a negative PCR for COVID-19 before arrival. After being quarantined and proven PCR negative, they will immediately get vaccinated.
In addition, foreigners and Indonesian citizens are required to undergo quarantine for 8 days with two PCR tests upon arrival and on the 7th day of arrival.
1. It is necessary to tighten the quarantine period for international travellers as a form of increasing awareness in dealing with variants of concern.
2. The median incubation of the SARS-CoV-2 variants Delta and Alpha is 4 days. Thus, the 8-day quarantine period covers twice the median incubation period of the virus.
3. The 8-day quarantine is carried out with a combination of entry & exit RT-PCR testing which is carried out at the time of arrival of the traveler (first day) and repeated on the 7th day.
4. Entry testing is carried out to detect as early as possible the potential for transmission from travellers.
5. Exit testing is carried out on the 7th day to wait for the virus incubation period, in anticipation of the virus not being detected in the first test.
6. The combination of quarantine and entry-exit testing (days 1 and 7) can prevent post-quarantine transmission, with a probability of transmission < 0.25 percent.
7. The implementation of quarantine for travellers needs to be carried out with discipline and strictness, in order to avoid transmission during the quarantine period.
