Indonesia is considering reopening its international borders to frequent travellers, even as it is dealing with the largest virus outbreak in the country.
Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a briefing on Thursday (Oct 22) that the issue is still being negotiated by different authorities and the government has not set a time frame for when a decision will be taken.
Since April, Southeast Asia's largest economy has closed its borders to foreign tourists. As coronavirus infections continued to spread across the region, an earlier plan to reopen Bali's tourist hotspot to foreign travelers in September was scuppered.
The pandemic is set to be the first annual recession in the economy since the Asian financial crisis. In the 24 hours through midday on Thursday, Indonesia reported 4,432 new cases, the most since Oct 11, taking the total to 377,541.
Last week, it overtook the Philippines to have the region's largest number of confirmed virus cases.

The two men chatted and joked without wearing masks in Pazuello's hotel room, seen in a video posted on social media by the president, who recovered from a bout of COVID-19 in July.
"This is another concrete case of someone who took chloroquine and it worked," Bolsonaro said. "This is an alternative, when doctors prescribe it."
