Indonesia lifted a ban on all foreign arrivals and kept the required isolation period at 7 days in a bid to keep the economy going, even as local Covid-19 infections continued to climb.

Authorities last week removed all 14 heavily-infected nations from its travel ban list, allowing travelers from countries including South Africa and the U.K. to enter its borders starting from Jan. 12, according to a statement by the Covid-19 Task Force.
