Government Set to Extend PPKM Implementation Outside Java and Bali until 14 April 2022

Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto has issued a statement affirming that the Enforced Community Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") that are currently being applied in areas outside of Java and Bali will be extended until 14 April 2022.
The decision to extend the implementation of PPKM has been made based on the current Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic situation level, which is set based on a consideration of the following factors: 1) Community transmission (e.g. number of cases, mortality rate and bed occupancy rate); and 2) Response capacity (e.g. testing, tracing and treatment).
In addition, the following vaccination thresholds have now been determined as factors that should be considered in relation to any further possible PPKM extensions: 1) Second-dose vaccination rate of 45%; and 2) First-dose elderly vaccination rate of 60%. In line with these criteria, 26 cities/regencies should currently be imposing Level-1 PPKM, 250 cities/regencies should currently be imposing Level-2 PPKM and 109 cities/regencies should currently be imposing Level-3 PPKM.
Furthermore, Mr. Airlangga has stated that the PPKM category levels that are being enforced across cities/regencies outside Java and Bali should be increased by one level if the relevant vaccination rates have yet to fulfill the above-listed thresholds. However, this policy exempts cities/regencies with populations of under 200,000 and that have less than two confirmed cases per 100,000 persons.
Finally, booster vaccinations and antigen tests are mandatory for Eid al-Fitr exodus (mudik) travelers, while healthcare facilities nationwide should ensure that they are sufficiently prepared for a potential spike in the number of COVID-19 cases after Ramadhan and the forthcoming Eid al-Fitr holiday season. _(ANT)
