Jakarta. The government will impose sanctions on those who defy the 2021 Idul Fitri homecoming ban as a drastic measure to contain coronavirus transmission.
Mudik or going back to one s hometown to celebrate Idul Fitri has been a long-running tradition among Indonesians. The pandemic-induced ban, which takes effect starting from May 6 to 17, has forced many people to kiss their homecoming plans goodbye. Business trips and emergency travels, however, are exempted from the ban.
