- The Minister of Home Affairs ("Minister") has issued a new directive which sets out further details relating to the implementation of Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3 Enforced Community Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") in areas outside of Java and Bali. These further provisions are specifically addressed under Directive of the Minister No. 65 of 2021 ("Directive 65/2021"), which will be applicable between 7 December 2021 and 23 December 2021.
- In essence, the provisions that address new PPKM restrictions, as outlined under Directive 65/2021, are substantially similar to those originally set out under the previously issued Directive.
- In this regard, determinations of regional PPKM levels should refer to the following indicators: 1) Indicators that relate to the adjustment of public healthcare efforts and social restrictions during the period for the handling of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), as determined by the Minister of Health; and 2) Indicators that relate to the administration of first vaccination doses and total vaccination achievement (the PPKM level of a given regency/city should be increased by one level if less than 50% of the local population have received a first dose vaccination).
- Directive 65/2021 also makes various adjustments to the community activity restrictions that apply within the education sector, as well as in workplaces/offices, shopping centers/malls, traditional/modern markets, tourist sites, places of worship and so forth. However, said adjustments should be implemented differently in accordance with the determined PPKM level for each area.
- The Minister has reemphasized that regional governors who have already secured supplies of vaccines from the Minister of Health should immediately distribute said supplies to their local regencies/cities and should not store them as provincial stock. (ANT)
