- In a recent statement, Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, asserted that Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") cases in Indonesia had decreased by 78% in comparison with the recent spike in the number of cases that reached its peak on 15 July 2021. The recovery rate has also been consistently higher than the number of confirmed cases, resulting in a national hospital bed occupancy rate that now stands at 33%.
- As a consequence of this drop, the prevailing Emergency Public Activity Restriction (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat – "PPKM") level for the Java - Bali area has now been lowered from Level 4 to Level 3 and this includes areas such as Jabodetabek, Bandung Raya and Surabaya Raya.
- However, in order to ensure a gradual adjustment, several restrictions will remain in force, including the following: 1) Places of worship are allowed to open but with maximum capacities of 25% or 30 persons; 2) Dining in restaurants is now permitted but only up to a maximum capacity of 25%, with a maximum of two persons/table and with operating hours being limited to 20.00 at the latest; 3) Shopping centers and malls are also permitted to open with up to maximum capacities of 50% and with operating hours being limited to 20.00 at the latest, while strict health protocols will be implemented (which are set to be further regulated by the relevant local governments); and 4) Export-oriented industries are permitted to operate at 100% but will be shut down if new COVID-19 clusters emerge.
- The new Level 3 PPKM restrictions will be imposed between 24 August 2021 and 30 August 2021. (KOMINFO)
