Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, who also helms the COVID-19 Handling and National Economic Recovery Committee, said on Monday (3/5) that the restrictions will remain the same as previous period. He added that the implementation of micro-scale public activity restrictions during the past 10 days must be evaluated.
“There is no change in public activity restrictions. People at recreational areas, public spaces, and community areas are obliged to adhere to the health protocols and wear face mask,” he firmly said adding that the places may open with 50 percent capacity.
On that occasion, Airlangga confirmed that as of 2 May 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia is lower than that of the global average. The daily cases decreased from 10,000 cases per day in January to 5,222 cases per day in April while the total active cases went down from 139,963 cases in January to 107,000 cases in April.
