Indonesia – Singapore travel corridor postponed
Surprising nobody, Indonesia confirmed its Singapore travel corridor has been suspended while it battles a huge caseload of Covid infections nationwide.
It has become a global epicentre of the pandemic with hospitals at breaking point across Java and Bali and micro-lockdowns continuing until next week at least.
Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno said the government will revisit preparations for the corridor only when domestic Covid cases show a significant drop.
The tourism ministry will concentrate on opening a corridors to the islands of Batam and Bintan which are popular weekend destinations for mostly Singaporeans.
It is also focusing on a Bali travel corridor with various countries.
"The travel corridor arrangement program has been delayed because we are implementing PPKM level 4 restrictions but when the situation gets more conducive, we will resume it quickly," Sandiaga said.
Singapore has also seen a rising number of cases which has derailed its planned travel corrifor with Hong Kong.
Indonesia reported 28,000 new cases on Monday and nearly 1,500 deaths.
