The government waived the mandatory quarantine for fully vaccinated international visitors to popular tourist destination Bali on Monday, as it seeks to loosen requirements in other parts of the country by April 1.

Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno announced the decision on Saturday, expressing the hope that the new policy would help revive Bali's tourism and create new economic opportunities for locals.

"It's official, as instructed by President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, Bali is launching a quarantine-free travel trial for international travelers who have been fully vaccinated or have received booster shots, starting on March 7," Sandiaga wrote on Instagram. "We're optimistic that [the new policy] will bring more job and business opportunities for residents."
