As Covid cases plateau after peaking in mid-February because of the virulent Omicron variant, Indonesian authorities are lifting domestic and overseas travel restrictions.
JAKARTA (Reuters): Indonesia will lift a ban on domestic travel during the Muslim holiday season of Eid al-Fitr in early May, President Joko Widodo said on Wednesday (March 23), after banning the annual tradition for two years during the pandemic.
