A number of Indonesian citizens (WNI) returning home have tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The majority, or 1,188 WNI, are known to have traveled from Saudi Arabia between December 28, 2020, and May 30, 2021.
591 Indonesian citizens returning from the United Arab Emirates tested positive for the coronavirus. Furthermore, 290 WNI tested positive after returning from Turkey.
From Malaysia, 195 WNI tested positive for the coronavirus. Meanwhile, 115 WNI tested positive after traveling from Qatar.
The Ministry of Health notes that Indonesian citizens arriving from abroad and testing positive for coronavirus often failed to comply with health protocols. They are also known to have entered Indonesia with only antigen test results. However, the requirement for Indonesian citizens returning home is to present a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result.
Therefore, it is crucial for the public to diligently implement the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. In addition, the public is urged to avoid crowds and reduce mobility.
