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. The number has plunged to 1,700. Death rates have similarly dropped from the seven-day average peak of 1,700 in early August to around 100 in recent days.
