Peaceful vacation with maximum protection
Even during the holidays, you still need to stay protected, as the weather changes and the number of cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia is rising.
To prevent that and maximize your safety, you should stay compliant with the health protocols. Always wear your mask in public spaces, regularly wash your hands with soap and running water, maintain distance from other people and avoid crowds. Try choosing less popular travel destinations to avoid being in the crowd. Apart from getting sick, the irritating traffic congestion at tourist sites often gets you stressed out!
