All workers in non-essential sectors must work from home, while essential sectors, such as banks, are told to operate at 50% capacity from July 3 to July 20, according to Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, who’s been appointed to lead the pandemic response. Only critical sectors like health and food will be allowed to run at full capacity.
