Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo stated recently that some regions do not conduct tests to maintain their green zone status. He praised the\u00a0Banyumas administration for tracking down residents with comorbidity factors, such as diabetes or hypertension, in an effort to prevent COVID-19 transmission to those at higher risk from the disease. \u201cPeople [with comorbidities] will be given a bracelet as a sign that they are vulnerable, so that people will avoid close contact,\u201d Ganjar said.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, active COVID-19 cases are up 8% week-on-week, a 2% increase from the previous week.\u00a0In Jakarta, active cases have plateaued since November 21, according to official figures. \u201cLet us all be more careful because as per Nov. 29, our active case rate has increased to 13.41 percent,\u201d Jokowi said during his opening speech of a Cabinet meeting in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>A national poll revealed that 66% of respondents were willing to participate in a vaccine program. The government will make vaccines freely available to healthcare and other frontline and priority workers. Other recipients will need to pay for the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia\u2019s National Covid-19 Task Force claimed on Saturday (11\/28) that the preparation for the distribution of vaccines against coronavirus is almost complete.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia has begun talks with officials from US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to secure the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to ensure sufficient supplies before a massive roll-out of a vaccination drive next year in the world&#8217;s fourth most populous country. According to officials from BPOM, Indonesia&#8217;s Food and Drug Administration, Pfizer offered to help provide the required cold-chain facility to ensure proper distribution of their vaccines.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Travel <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The following are the current general requirements for traveling to Indonesia:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0 Free Visa\/Visa Exemption and Visa on Arrival\u00a0are temporarily suspended until the COVID-19 pandemic is declared over by the Indonesian Government.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0 Foreign nationals can apply for a<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Visitor<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Temporary Stay Visa<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>if<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>they have a legitimate sponsor in Indonesia to sponsor their visa application.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0 Applications\u00a0must be made <strong>online<\/strong>\u00a0by a Sponsor through the following website: <a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001OJIADy5yK1KZTInPLClBXyF9BYCDEOunP-MiuDdH8vrPIFpwsLDA9wsmsi3cSaQm_F7Paq4BOkPIMyjNt7XdkUPixqA9nkk2fiH1Zz-_LKI6KqSv0ad8FJx7_wjq3OdspFyNy-eeE7iB-XuBuqL2DSK86TcumF_h&amp;c=nUxlLiH2Vmcgbm0KuAYdxNQ4W13g65i9vBFJXdT1SX7eXxhfohQ__w==&amp;ch=HiKD7Y0ObaF_tDJ0OYeEj4Lz69DsnVNYlFhQt_WmJ12MiQpWKS017g==\"><strong>https:\/\/visaonline.imigrasi.go.id\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0 Once the visa application is approved,\u00a0the Directorate-General of Immigration of the Republic of Indonesia\u00a0will issue a visa in the form of an\u00a0electronic visa (e-Visa)\u00a0which will be sent to the registered e-mail address of the Sponsor and the applicant.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0\u00a0 These provisions apply only to Visitor and Temporary Stay Visa applications.

The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) has gained more than 25% in the last six months and around 11 percent in the past month following a slew of positive sentiments both from inside and outside the country, erasing some of the deep losses recorded during market crashes in March and April. According to Fitch Ratings, Indonesian finance and leasing companies should expect stabilizing sector conditions in 2021. This should be driven by an expected economic recovery and steadier funding markets, following weak industry performance in 2020 due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Chinese Venture Capital Enters Indonesia: <\/strong>Chinese venture capital investors are shifting their focus to Indonesia after India closed its doors to them.
