New Rules And Requirements As Jakarta Returns To COVID-19 Lockdown

With the number of COVID-19 cases continuing to rise, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan announced the re-enactment of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar or "PSBB") in the province from September 14 to September 27, 2020. The reintroduction of PSBB was stipulated in DKI Jakarta Governor Decree No. 959 of 2020 regarding Enforcement of the Implementation of PSBB in the Handling of COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta dated September 11, 2020 ("DKI Jakarta Decree 959/2020").
