Indonesia and Malaysia will limit travels toward the end of the month-long fasting period which typically sees more than 81 million people head home to regional towns from urban centers, a holiday migration similar to Thanksgiving in the U.S. or Lunar New Year in China.

SINGAPORE, April 23 (Bloomberg): South-East Asia’s biggest predominantly Muslim nations are tightening movement restrictions to avert a surge in Covid-19 infections around the Ramadan holidays.
Indonesia and Malaysia will limit travels toward the end of the month-long fasting period which typically sees more than 81 million people head home to regional towns from urban centres, a holiday migration similar to Thanksgiving in the U.S. or Lunar New Year in China. Violators could face fines or jail time, though exemptions will be allowed for emergencies.
The restrictions are aimed at avoiding a resurgence in cases similar to those playing out in other developing countries and threatening overall global growth. India set the world’s daily record for cases this week, while infections are also rising in Turkey, Argentina and Brazil.
