Indonesia is tightening guidelines around organising large-scale events to minimise the spread of Covid-19 virus as new cases increased to a two-month high.

Participants should be fully vaccinated in order to attend events involving 1,000 people or more, while unvaccinated children are discouraged from joining, Covid-19 Task Force Spokesman Wiku Adisasmito said in a briefing Tuesday. The new directive takes effect immediately, and a regulation detailing all the measures will be issued shortly.
