Indonesian Government: PPKM Adequate to Control COVID-19 Spike

The Head of the Development of Behavioral Change for Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") Task Force, Sonny Harry B Harmadi, has stated that the enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") at the micro-scale remains an adequate response to the COVID-19 spike that is currently being experienced across various Indonesian regions. Mr. Harmadi further stated that the government has been re-enforcing PPKM at the micro-scale since 15 June 2021 and that these restrictions will remain in place until 28 June 2021.
In general, the PPKM policy is to be implemented through the following measures: 1) 75% work-from-home policy in red and orange zone areas; 2) Any recreational areas that are located in open red zones are prohibited from opening; 3) 50% dine-in capacity for restaurants; and so forth.
Mr. Harmadi also added that the general public is required to comply with three primary policies in relation to the new spike, specifically: 1) Compliance with health protocols; 2) Limitations relating to mobility; and 3) Limitations relating to activities.
However, several challenges will have to be met as regards the implementation of PPKM. Most importantly in this regard is the fact that many regions across Indonesia are not being thorough enough in terms of the mandatory establishment of facilities in rural (desa) areas or by local authorities (kelurahan).
Moreover, several parties are currently urging the government to re-enforce the previous policy of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar/PSBB) and to implement regional quarantines or even lockdowns in an attempt to slow the spread of a second COVID-19 wave within Indonesia. _(ANT)
