JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

On track to host the G20 summit in Bali on November 15-16, The Indonesia's

Ministry of Health is set to implement a strict health protocol system as a

precaution against COVID-19. The system will serve as a guideline for every

activity during the summit.

The Indonesian G20 presidency's overarching theme is "Recover Together, Recover

Stronger," encouraging all countries to work together to achieve a more

sustainable world recovery as the global pandemic continues to affect all

sectors of life.

"The bubble system is in line with the current global framework of pandemic

prevention. It's a travel corridor scheme which aims to limit risks of possible

transmissions by separating those involved in the summit from the public at

hotels, venues, and other supporting facilities for every event or meeting

during and leading up to the summit," said dr. Siti Nadia Tarmizi, M.Epid,

official spokesperson of COVID-19 Vaccination, the Indonesia's Ministry of

Health.

Four separate bubbles will be established. The first bubble is for G20 country

delegates, including their main entourages. The second bubble is for general

G20 participants and journalists, with the third bubble prepared for the

summit's organizers and field officers. The fourth bubble is for all the

operational and supporting staff involved in the summit's affairs.

A similar closed-loop bubble system implemented in the Beijing Olympics last

February was successful, keeping the COVID-19 infection rate down to 0,01%[

throughout the event. This will also be employed in the 31st Southeast Asian

(SEA) Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, in May 2022.

Vaccination mandates, regular health checks, and COVID-19 screenings will also

be part of the measures during the G20 summit in Bali. Prior to their arrival,

all participants must be double-vaccinated and able to show their vaccine

certificates. They must also provide negative PCR test results taken a maximum

of three days before their departure. During the summit, they must undergo a

daily antigen test or a once-every-three-day PCR test throughout their stay in

the bubble system area.
