Indonesia will do away with indoor mask mandates and remove the requirement to show proof of vaccination when
entering buildings, becoming one of the last few countries to completely end Covid-19 restrictions.
The decision was taken as almost all of Indonesia’s population had immunity against the virus, said President Joko Widodo.
“We once failed in containing Covid, but now we are among the few countries that did not experience a pandemic wave in past 10 to 11 consecutive months,†he said. “What does this mean? It means this removal is not arbitrary, it is based on science.â€
Jokowi reiterated that Indonesia would not impose new travel curbs, in response to a question about rising cases in China is expected to open its borders soon.
