Indonesia will impose stricter limits on people’s movement and capacity caps as the country sees a resurgence in new coronavirus cases.
Maximum capacity at offices is set at 25%, from 50% previously, while schools and places of worship must be shut in areas deemed most at risk, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said in a briefing. The measures will be extended until June 28, with the military and police to be deployed to ensure compliance, he added.
