Indonesia is set to keep its remaining virus restrictions until at least May 23, when the government will evaluate whether the rules are still needed.

The curbs mostly set limits on capacity and opening hours.

Indonesia will monitor whether cases start to pick up after more than 85 million people travelled across the country during the week-long Eid al-Fitr break in early May, as previous holiday periods have been followed by a resurgence in coronavirus infections. So far, Covid-19 cases in the world's fourth-most populous nation have been easing, even reaching this year's low in early May, as deaths also fall.
