JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): The Jakarta municipal government is considering whether to reimpose stricter social distancing measures that would ban dining in restaurants and require staff in non-essential services to work from home, in an effort to preempt any surge in coronavirus infections following the holiday season.

The decision will be made within a week and would be effective for two weeks, starting next Monday (Jan 11), a source told The Straits Times.
