COVID-19 Handling Task Force Revises Provisions on Domestic Travel Restrictions

In the wake of the results of an inter-sectoral evaluation of the current state of play at the national level as regards the progress of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, the COVID-19 Handling Task Force ("Task Force") has taken steps to adjust several provisions originally set out under the now-repealed and replaced Circular of the Task Force No. 21 of 2021 through the issuance of Circular of the Task Force No. 22 of 2021 ("Circular 22/2021"), which has now become the legal basis for domestic travel provisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Circular 22/2021, all domestic travelers are required to use the PeduliLindungi application. Moreover, long-distance air travelers traveling to and from the islands of Java and Bali, as well as inter-regency or inter-city trips undertaken by travelers within Java and Bali, are now required to present the following: 1) Vaccination card (minimum first dose) and a negative RT-PCR result (D-3); or 2) Vaccination card (second dose) and a negative antigen test result (D-1).
Long-distance travelers engaging in inter-regency or inter-city air travel outside the islands of Java and Bali are now required to present a vaccination card (minimum first dose) and a negative RT-PCR test result (D-3) or negative antigen test result (D-1).
Travelers using sea transportation, public or private land transportation, ferries and intercity trains are required to present a vaccination card (minimum first dose) and a negative RT-PCR test result (D-3) or a negative antigen test result (D-1). Routine trips that use private or public land transportation and trains within a single urban conurbation are exempted from the above requirements.
Domestic travel undertaken by logistics vehicles and other goods vehicles within the islands of Java and Bali must comply with the following provisions: 1) Must present a vaccination card (complete dose) and a negative antigen test result (D-14); 2) Must present a vaccination card (first dose) and a negative antigen test result (D-7); or 3) Those who have yet to be vaccinated must present a negative antigen test result (D-1).
The obligation to present vaccination cards exempts the following parties: 1) Travelers under the age of 12; 2) Logistics vehicles and other goods transportation operators who engage in any domestic travel in areas outside Java and Bali; 3) Travelers with special health conditions or comorbid diseases that mean that they cannot be vaccinated, on the condition that they present a doctor’s certificate issued by a government hospital stating that the person concerned has not and/or cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Circular 22/2021 has been in force since 2 November 2021.
