JAKARTA, July 18 (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan announced that the capital would extend the transitional period of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) for the next two weeks as the latest data have shown an increasing trend in new Covid-19 cases.
As a consequence of this extension, the city administration would delay further relaxations, such as reopening of movie theaters, that were initially scheduled to be implemented at the end of July, Anies said.
