JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Indonesia has moved to gently ease restrictive measures in its capital of Jakarta on Thursday (June 4), some two months after the coronavirus seized the country to infect more than 28,000 people, kill nearly 1,700, and place sprawling regions under partial lockdowns.
Over the next month, called the "transition phase", workplaces, places of worship, shopping centres and recreational venues will gradually be allowed to open with strict health guidelines, which include operating at 50 per cent capacity and ensuring people maintain a 1m distance from one another.
