2. Coronavirus: Travelers Can Get Airline Refund If Pre-Departure Test Result Positive

Indonesia’s Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi conducted an inspection of the Covid-19 health protocols during the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport near Jakarta on Saturday, December 26.

During the inspection, Budi visited the rapid antigen tests or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) facility at Terminal 2 and 3.

The minister said in case travelers test positive for Covid-19 before their departure, they cannot continue the journey.

However, prospective passengers can get a ticket refund from the airline.
“In case they test positive for the Covid-19, explain to them that they cannot continue the journey but they can get a full refund,” Budi said in a statement on Saturday.
