FILE - In this June 2, 2020, file photo, a chili pepper vendor wears a face mask and shield as a precaution against the new coronavirus at a traditional market in Jakarta, Indonesia. As Indonesia’s overall virus caseload continues to rise, Jakarta's governor has moved to restore normalcy by lifting some restrictions, saying that the spread of the virus in the city of 11 million has slowed down after peaking in mid-April.
While Indonesia’s neighbors scrambled early this year to try to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the government of the world’s fourth most populous nation insisted that everything was fine. Indonesia’s southern neighbor Australia and some fellow Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore took action as early as late January that included containment and tracing measures.
Jakarta itself has confirmed more than 8,300 cases and at least 533 deaths, the most in Indonesia. The city had roughly 3,400 new cases in both April and May, and has reported at least 1,037 new ones so far in June.But even though Jakarta seems to have flattened the curve of the virus, other parts of Indonesia, a vast archipelago nation of more than 270 million people, are still seeing their curves rise, due largely to people traveling to these places from the capital.
Still, Jakarta Gov. Anies Baswedan has moved to reopen the city, which imposed large-scale social restrictions on April 10. “According to the graphs, Jakarta is starting to be under control,” he said. Agus Pambagyo, a public policy analyst, said that even though many people have been hit financially by the restrictions in Jakarta, the government should be looking at other factors and increase its testing for the virus before reopening.
There is no second wave if the first wave is still ongoing.
Covid was a tool used after isis terrorists failed to scare us enough to stay inside. What needs to happen is a swift clean out those in power along with their puppet experts. The virus is a hoax a lie and if you think its not then you have it and need to isolate forever.

That's ok. With masks, faceshield & handwashing that will do the job in lieu of lockdown. I mean about half the population don't have enough savings to sustain months without pay. realDonaldTrump UN WHOIndonesia jokowi BBCIndonesia aniesbaswedan
Pls be safe everyone
• 🇮🇩 Indonesia Jakarta's governor is so WRONG in his order to restore normalcy by lifting restrictions. • Reopening is too soon because Virus is still active, infecting & killing indonesian people as well as people all over 🌎the world.😬😬😬😢😢😬😬 You lower guard, get KO😢
Where have I heard this before
There is nothing like the second wave of virus or coronavirus. Let's be positive and support brave and smart governors/presidents
still 1st wave, because curva is lifting up from March 2020. I think isn't real new normal, because the meaning of new normal in Indonesia is different. This is all about economic.
of course! you can arrange a protest of many thousands with a demonstration and a flash mob to support Floyd and smash and burn shops, this is not dangerous during an epidemic. But you cannot restore normal life in the city of Jakarta! Too dangerous! Ahahahaaaa!
Sounds familiar.
That pepper market looks awesome! I know the article is about C-19 but that photo makes me want to visit Jakarta for the food.
Omg - get a load of those fabulous looking chillis ..hottotrot yum
