In the meantime, Coordinating Economic Affairs Minister Airlangga Hartarto has announced a tightening of restrictions in specific areas in all six provinces on Java Island and Bali province from January 11-25, 2021, in a bid to counter a spike in COVID-19 infections.
"Limited restrictions are being applied in the Java-Bali provinces, as the provinces meet one of the four set parameters," Hartarto said during an online press conference here on Wednesday.
Restrictions are being tightened in Jakarta and adjoining areas, including Bogor City, Bogor district, Depok, Bekasi City, and Bekasi’s districts, the minister noted, as well as partially in Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Yogyakarta, and Bali provinces. (Antaranews)
