The traffic in a densely populated residential area on Jalan Malaka Raya, East Jakarta, is deserted Tuesday (26/5/2020). Many residents who have lost their jobs in big cities due to the COVID-19 pandemic have chosen to wait in their hometowns before returning to find work in big cities.

The densely populated area of Jakarta has become a battleground against Covid-19. The highest increase in the number of Covid-19 confirmed cases comes from this dense area. Close monitoring of health protocols is a key.

If the effort to suppress the number of Covid-19 confirmed cases is a battle, then the densely populated area of Jakarta is a real battlefield. The call to implement health protocols without massive and tight supervision is like a war without troops.
