Indonesia Prepares for ‘New Normal’

After battling the COVID-19 pandemic for almost three months, the Indonesian government has decided to implement 'New Normal' policies

View this email in your browser After battling the COVID-19 pandemic for almost three months, the Indonesian government has decided to implement 'New Normal' policies starting this month. To be carried out in five stages until July, the main objective of this policy is to try recover Indonesia's economy and curb the ever increasing job losses. Some 100 regencies and municipalities labeled as green zones and have not been impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak can start "new-normal" measures, the government has announced. These include 14 areas in Aceh, 15 in North Sumatra, three in Riau Islands, four in South Sumatra, 14 in East Nusa Tenggara, one in Central Java, five in Southeast Sulawesi and 17 in Papua, all have recorded zero cases of COVID-19, the Jakarta Post reports. To enforce the guidelines in public places, around 340,000 officers will be deployed in 25 cities across four provinces. Jakarta, however,  might extend its large scale restriction one more time, after having been extended twice. Governor Anies Baswedan, has denied the circulated claim that the city was going to reopen shopping centers in early June. Moreover, despite the easing of restrictions, schools and campuses might not reopen until at least December of this year, or even the beginning of 2021. From Bali, Governor I Wayan Koster has said he would revoke Badung Tourism Agency's decision to reopen two beaches, Canggu Beach and Labuan Sait beach, for foreign surfers. Although still off-limits to domestic tourists and non surfers, Koster emphasized that Bali's tourism isn't ready to open just yet. Until next time!
