Dear Readers,
Some updates to start off this newsletter, and finish off the year: The first batch of Covid-19 vaccine ordered from China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd. arrived in Indonesia, marking a new phase in the country's fight against Southeast Asia's worst outbreak. As many as 1.2 million doses of the vaccine arrived late on Sunday and the government expects to receive another shipment of 1.8 million doses in early January. The Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) has extended its monitoring stage of phase three clinical trial for the Sinovac vaccine for another three months, before giving it the green light for its emergency use. In total, 143 million doses of vaccine have been ordered in various forms, from ready to use doses to vaccine bulk. The arrival of the vaccines has given many a glimmer of hope to welcome a new year ahead. We know 2020's new year celebration will be a lot different than our previous ones, especially with the inevitable banning of events and celebrations in public places between Dec 18 and Jan 8 in Indonesia. Although there's not going to be a lot of fanfare and parties, I trust having those that most dear to us safe—even if they can't be near—is the most important thing. Massive parties could be out of the question, but an intimate dinner or brunch with your family is always an option; join the festivity or order meals to go in these spots, so you will have more time rekindling the holiday spirit and less minding about the burnt ham and soggy pies! Here are the best Christmas brunch and dinner deals in Jakarta and Bandung. As we close our 2020 chapter, the What's New Indonesia family would like to wish you a healthy and happy Christmas and new year. May your heart be filled with joy and happiness that the season brings. See you in 2021! Cheers,
Jessica Januarty
