JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Life will return to normal in Blitar, in East Java, by next week, the first city to do so in Indonesia as the authorities conduct a test on living with Covid-19.

The move comes after South-East Asia's most populous nation managed to bring under control the latest wave of the disease triggered after Hari Raya this year in May. The seven-day average for infections peaked in mid-July with 50,000 cases daily.
