According to The Jakarta Post, 11680 domestic flights in Indonesia were cancelled in January and February 2020 over fears of the spread of COVID-19 (covid, in short) and there could be more. In addition, more than 1023 international flights from airports such as Jakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar to China's 22 cities and Singapore were also cancelled.
The extremely high number of flight cancellations within Indonesia could suggest the severity of covid in the archipelago despite the capital Jakarta reporting 19 confirmed covid cases on 9 March 2020.
According to checks on Changi Airport web-site, Lion Air and Batik Air have already cancelled daily flights from Jakarta to Singapore on many days while Garuda Indonesia has reduced its daily scheduled flights to Singapore from 10 to 3 per day.
Garuda Indonesia has also suspended flights to Singapore from Surabaya and Denpasar due to the worsening situation of the disease in Singapore.
As covid still spreads in tropical countries, according to experts, only temperatures at 60 degrees Celsius and above can kill the virus SARS-CoV-2. It is impossible to eradicate the virus in summer unless reliable vaccination is available.
