  • The government has never issued the term local homecoming. This term emerged from the media and society itself. In the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 13 of 2021, there are several agglomeration and urban areas that are exempt from the travel ban for homecoming for the period 6-17 May 2021.
  • Why is the agglomeration area not banned for community movement and transportation? Because in this agglomeration and urban area, there is daily mobility across regencies and provinces by the community which is routinely and intensively carried out on a daily basis such as for work, economic, social and so on. During the homecoming ban on May 6-17, there are still active working days (only 2 days of collective leave) so that work and other economic activities will continue. So that there is no prohibition of movement or transportation operations.
  • The government still urges the people in the agglomeration areas to continue to limit their mobility, not to travel first. Gathering is also recommended to be done online. Face-to-face meetings with older family members are at risk of transmitting COVID-19.
