With the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Pandemic seemingly
abating, the Government has incrementally relaxed its previously
stringent public activity restrictions policies. Under the Minister
of Home Affairs (the "MOHA") Instruction
No. 57 of 2021 dated November 1, 2021 on the Enactment of Level 3,
Level 2 and Level 1 Covid-19 Public Activity Restriction
(Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat or
"PPKM") in the Java and Bali Areas
("Instruction No. 57/2021"), the
Government determines a specific Level (from Levels 1 to 3) for
each area in Java and Bali based on the severity of the pandemic in
such areas.
The determination for each area's level depends on each
area's Covid-19 management efforts, and with Instruction No.
57/2021 each area's vaccination rate is also a determining
factor for its level. For a Level 3 area to become a Level 2
area, at minimum 50% of residents must receive the
1st vaccine dose, and at least 40% of such
residents are over 60
