Indonesia will ask people to show proof of a third Covid-19 vaccine shot to access crowded areas as the government banks on inoculation to manage an increase in cases.

Southeast Asia's largest economy extended limits on businesses' capacity and opening hours through Aug. 1 for islands outside of Java and Bali as coronavirus cases pick up.
