From the very beginning of the pandemic, we realized that transportation, especially international flights, contribute to the rapid transmission of Covid-19 throughout the world.
Covid-19 was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020 as a pandemic, highlighting its global spread. Thus, it is not surprising that the transportation sector is a key aspect in controlling the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in all countries, including Indonesia. Other efforts are to impose social distancing and to prevent crowds in social and economic activities, including in public transportation.
