JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The public’s enthusiasm for flocking to shopping centers in Jakarta must be anticipated in the strict enforcement of health protocols. This is to prevent the emergence of new clusters of Covid-19 infection during the transition phase of the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).
This enthusiasm was palpable at a number of locations on Monday (15/6/2020), the first day that shopping centers reopened across Jakarta after months of closure. The reopening of shopping centers in the capital is part of the third phase of the PSBB transition period.
