JAKARTA: Indonesia has banned the annual Ramadan exodus of city dwellers to their hometowns in a move hailed by medical professionals struggling with a surge in coronavirus infections in the country.
The ban, announced by President Joko Widodo in a teleconference Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, follows a transport ministry survey showing that 68 percent of people had decided to cancel their homecoming at the end of Ramadan, while 24 percent still planned on traveling and 7 percent had already left.
