Indonesia drops year-end Covid-19 curbs on better vaccination, testing

Jakarta

INDONESIA cancelled its planned restrictions for the year-end period as its Covid-19 vaccination coverage and testing capacity has improved.

The government will not impose the second-highest level of restrictions, or Level 3, across the country and will instead order varied curbs depending on the local situation, said Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Affairs Luhut Panjaitan, who is overseeing the pandemic response.
