The Jakarta Government will officially impose large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) as it was at the beginning of the pandemic. This follows the trend of the high development of Covid-19 cases over the past week and will be effective on Sept. 14, 2020.

Restaurants and cafes are one of the business sectors that are directly related to this emergency brake policy.

Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that these businesses could only serve orders to carry out. No one is allowed to serve meals on the premises.

"Food businesses, restaurants, restaurants, cafes are allowed to continue operating, but they are not allowed to receive visitors to eat on-site," Anies said on Wednesday.

He said gathering in a closed room for a meal together is one of the triggers for the Covid-19 transmission. So he emphasized that all restaurants in the capital can only serve delivery orders.

"So, orders are taken, orders are delivered, but they do not eat at the location, because we find that in these places there is an interaction that leads to transmission," Anies said.

The Jakarta Government is still preparing regulations related to the reintroduction of the PSBB in total in this capital city.

There will be 11 essential fields that are still allowed to operate, but the implementation is kept to a minimum. (RRI)
