What is the current situation?

COVID-19 risk in Indonesia is high. CDC
recommends travelers avoid all nonessential
international travel to Indonesia. Some
examples of essential travel may include
traveling for humanitarian aid work, medical
reasons, or family emergencies. Older adults,
people of any age with certain underlying
medical conditions, and others at increased risk
for severe illness should consider postponing all
travel, including essential travel, to Indonesia.

If you get sick in Indonesia and need medical

care, resources may be limited. Plan ahead and
learn more about Getting Health Care Abroad.

If you get sick with COVID-19 (or test positive for

COVID-19, even if you have no symptoms) while
abroad, you may be isolated or not be
permitted to return to the United States until
you have recovered fully from your illness. If
you get exposed to a person with COVID-19
while abroad, you may be quarantined or not be
permitted to return to the United States until 14
days after your last exposure.

What can travelers do to

protect themselves and
others?
If you travel, take steps to protect yourself and
others from COVID-19:

Avoid close contact by staying at least 6

feet (about 2 arms' length) away from
anyone who is not from your household.
Wear a mask to keep your nose and mouth
covered when in public settings.
Wash your hands often or use hand
sanitizer.
Avoid contact with anyone who is sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and
mouth.
Do not travel if you are sick.

What do I need to do after I

travel?
You may have been exposed to COVID-19 on
your travels (domestic and/or international).
You may feel well and not have any symptoms,
but you can be contagious without symptoms
and spread the virus to others. You and your
travel companions (including children) pose a
risk to your family, friends, and community for
14 days after you were exposed to the virus.
Regardless of where you traveled or what you
did during your trip, take these actions to
protect others from getting sick:

Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length)

from anyone who is not from your
household. It’s important to do this
everywhere -- both indoors and outdoors.
Wear a mask to keep your nose and mouth
covered when you are outside of your
home.
Wash your hands often or use hand
sanitizer.
Watch your health: Look for symptoms of
COVID-19, and take your temperature if
you feel sick.
Because you have a higher risk for
exposure to COVID-19, take additional
recommended precautions

Because you traveled to a destination where

COVID-19 risk is high, also take the following
steps after travel:

Stay home as much as possible.

Avoid being around people at higher risk
for severe illness from COVID-19.
Consider getting tested for COVID-19.

See CDC’s After Travel webpage for more

information. Follow state and local
recommendations or requirements after travel.
