JAKARTA, Nov 3 (NNN-Bernama) — The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) added Indonesia to its list of “low” risk travel destinations.
The agency uses COVID-19 data reported by the World Health Organisation and other official sources to make determinations about travel health notice levels.
“Make sure you are fully vaccinated before travelling to Indonesia,” the CDC said on its website, adding that fully vaccinated travellers are less likely to get and spread COVID-19.
The agency has four levels in its COVID-19 travel health recommendations, of which level one is considered low. This is followed by level two (moderate), level three (high) and level four (very high).
The CDC, however, reminds international travel poses additional risks, and even fully vaccinated travellers might be at increased risk for getting and possibly spreading some COVID-19 variants.
“Do not travel internationally until you are fully vaccinated. If you are not fully vaccinated, there are additional recommendations to follow before, during, and after travel.”
The US citizens are also advised to follow recommendations or requirements in Indonesia, including wearing a mask and staying six feet apart from others.
