JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Worried Jakartans are up in arms over residents returning from their home towns after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays, demanding that those returning be certified free of the Covid-19 virus.

Banners sprayed in red or black paint can be seen in a number of neighbourhoods across the capital, with some saying "we reject those returning from home towns without Covid-free letters".
