Bali scrapped quarantine for vaccinated tourists from more than 20 countries and reintroduced visas on arrival as the Indonesian holiday island pushes ahead with re-opening after two years of Covid curbs. The loosening comes as a wave of Omicron infections wanes across the Southeast Asian archipelago and after some international airlines resumed direct flights in recent weeks.
'President Joko Widodo has agreed to trial a no-quarantine policy for overseas travellers to Bali starting on March 7,' maritime affairs and investment minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said in a briefing. Visitors will be exempt from isolation if double-jabbed and holding a negative PCR test and will have to show proof of a four-day hotel booking. - AFP
