Jakarta Eases Restrictions As It Transitions From Response To Recovery

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jakarta has been implementing Large-Scale Social Restrictions ("PSBB") since April. Schools, offices and public facilities have been closed. Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan recently extended PSBB in the province, but said this would be a transition period toward recovery and a healthy, safe and productive return to public activities.

During this transition period, Jakarta will ease restrictions put in place under PSBB and allow activities to resume according to specific guidelines and health protocols.  

What does this mean?

In the first phase of this transition, Jakarta will allow offices, shops, restaurants, businesses and places of worship to gradually begin to reopen at 50% capacity.
