From what was reported in the news, Spore is unlikely to consider to open its border with Indonesia (as a whole country) so soon due to the following reasons:
1) No. of tests carried out in indonesia is very low given a high population in the country
2) Measures carried out is insufficient, e.g. lack of safe distancing measure & education on covid-19
3) Lack of enforcement, can see sight of groups of people gathering together in many places
4) Has a extremely high fatality rate.
5) Medical supplies, equipment and capacity is insufficient..
Currently, the no. of cases in Batam is still growing and Batam still in red status...
Even though if Spore willing to consider the Riau islands (Batam,Balai,Bintan,Batu) separately from the mainland, the Riau governor will still need to take instruction from the federal garmen in Jakarta, therefore there will be many restriction or consideration involve.
