From VN Express /Reuters

Indonesia has mandated that all international travelers complete an electronic health declaration form before entering the country to prevent the spread of monkeypox (mpox) virus.

The requirement applies to all foreign visitors, including cabin crew, according to Kristi Endah Murni, Director General of Air Transportation under the Ministry of Transportation, as reported by Antara News Agency.

The decision follows the World Health Organization's classification of mpox as a public health emergency of international concern on Aug. 14.

Travelers must complete the form, available at sshp.kemkes.go.id, within 48 hours before departure. This allows Indonesian airport authorities to assess potential risks related to the transmission of the virus.

Upon completion, the form generates a QR code, which facilitates the identification and health screening of travelers upon arrival.
