Authorities have extended varying tiers of public activity restrictions (PPKM) in provinces in Java and Bali through Jan. 24 due to COVID- 19 concerns. Most localities are under the less stringent levels 1 and
2. Further extensions of PPKM restrictions are likely over the near term.

Varying PPKM levels, which are based on local disease activity and other factors, are in effect in localities outside Java and Bali until at least Jan. 31. Under levels 1 and 2, most sectors can work on-site at 100 percent capacity, though non-essential companies must suspend operations for five days if any cluster is found within the workplaces. Level 3 rules permit non-essential and essential sectors to operate on-site at a maximum of 50 and 100 percent capacity, respectively.

The rules under each level in Java and Bali are stricter than the curbs under the corresponding level throughout the rest of the country. In Java and Bali, the strictest level 3 rules allow non-essential and essential sectors to work on-site at a maximum of 25 and 50 percent capacity, respectively. Level 2 curbs permit non-essential and essential sectors to operate on-site at a maximum of 50 and 75 percent capacity. Level 1 protocols allow non-essential and essential sectors to run at 75 and 100 percent capacity. Areas enacting level 2 curbs include Bali, Jakarta, and Yogyakarta provinces, as well as
Bandung and Semarang cities.

Critical sectors can run work on-site at full capacity under all levels nationwide. Employees at all levels must use the PeduliLindung application to check in and out of offices. Facemasks are mandatory in public areas nationwide. Local authorities, including those in major cities such as Jakarta, may enforce enhanced localized movement and commercial restrictions in high-risk areas.

Authorities require long-distance travelers to provide a vaccination card indicating at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Air passengers must show a negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours before departure; fully vaccinated passengers may provide a negative rapid antigen test result taken within 24 hours before departure. Ground and maritime travelers must provide a negative rapid antigen test result taken within 24 hours. All air and sea travelers must also register on the Health Alert Card (eHAC) mobile application before travel. Officials advise passengers to download the PeduliLindungi contact tracing application.

The government allows citizens, permanent residents, foreigners on high-level diplomatic state visits, and Asia-Pacific Economic Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Travel cardholders to enter the country. Fully vaccinated tourists and short-term visa holders from several countries may also visit Bali or the Riau Islands; the countries include Bahrain, China, France, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and United Arab Emirates.

Travelers, except Indonesian nationals, must present a COVID-19 vaccination certificate for entry. Permitted arrivals must present a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours before departure, health insurance covering COVID-19 quarantine and treatment, register on the eHAC app, and download the PeduliLindungi contact- tracing app. Tourists to Bali and Riau Islands must present evidence of hotel booking and medical insurance of at least USD 100,000 covering COVID-19 treatment.

International arrivals must quarantine at designated facilities for seven days and undergo PCR tests. Tourist travelers to Bali and the Riau Islands must quarantine for five days at their own expense.
