JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): A survey conducted by LaporCovid-19 (Report Covid-19) community reveals that Jakarta is not yet ready to enter the so-called “new normal” as the capital is gearing up to ease social restrictions.

Based on the survey, the group has expressed concern that the new normal policy might instead cause a spike in transmission as there is low risk perception of Covid-19 among Jakarta residents.
