JAKARTA (Bloomberg): Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo said the country still can’t resort to a full lockdown even as it tops the world’s daily number of coronavirus deaths.

"As I visited the villages and the cities, so many people are screaming for a reopening -- this is only a semi lockdown, not a full lockdown,” he said in an address to small entrepreneurs on Friday (July 30).
