Happy Earth Day 2020 | Government Bans Mudik from Covid-19 ‘Red Zones’

Dear WhatsNewIndonesia Readers,

To curb the spread of COVID-19 ahead of Ramadan, President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo announced his decision to finally ban the Idul Fitri mudik starting Friday (April 24), while sanctions [for violators] will be enforced starting May 7, the Jakarta Post reports.

The ban follows a Transportation Ministry field research and survey that shows 24 percent of respondents still have plans to travel back to their hometown. Traditionally, some 20 million people from Greater Jakarta, the current epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia, travel to their hometowns every Idul Fitri.

With the mudik ban, the government will not allow public transport and private vehicles from coming out of the Covid-19 red zone (pandemic epicentrum), except for logistics transportation, health workers, and people working in banking services.

As an effort to support the government in suppressing the spread of COVID-19, several companies are working with private hospitals to conduct rapid tests, both paid and free. Check out this list of COVID-19 rapid test services in Jakarta and surrounding areas to get tested.

As we enter our second week of PSBB and over a month of #workfromhome call, make sure you keep your pantry stocked while you #stayathome and check our list of online groceries in Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, and Bandung.

On 22 April 2020, Earth Day is also celebrating its 50th Anniversary and carries the theme "Climate Action". Join for 24 hours of action as a new call to action is issued every hour. Through 24 hours of action, Earth Day 2020 will drive actions big and small, give diverse voices a platform and demand bold action for people and the planet. Check out what you can do here

Stay healthy and stay well!
