- International visitors will be barred from entering Indonesia for a two-week period in a bid to stem the spread of a new potentially more contagious strain of the coronavirus, its foreign minister Retno Marsudi said on Monday (Dec 28).
- The new regulation, effective Jan 1, comes days after Indonesia banned travellers from Britain and tightened rules for those arriving from Europe and Australia to limit the spread of the new strain.
- Indonesia earlier this year banned all foreign tourists from entry but some exemptions have been made for business travellers.
- The new regulation applies to all foreign visitors, except for high-level government officials or foreigners with residency permits, she said.
- It announced 5,854 new infections and 215 deaths on Monday, with the positivity rate above 20 per cent in recent days.
