“If we changed Car Free Day to Bicycling Zones, it will prompt more people to bicycle instead of walking or running,” Anies said. “When they opt for bicycles, they are more likely to abide to social distancing.”

The Jakarta Provincial Administration spread the Bicycling Zones to 32 points throughout the capital.

4. Schools to remain closed

Anies noted that school buildings will remain closed, though the 2020–2021 academic year will start on July 13.

“Schools will carry on long distance learning at least for the time being.”

To date, Jakarta has the highest number of Covid-19 cases among Indonesia’s 34 provinces, with 11.682 people stricken by the coronavirus. 646 Jakartans have died from the pandemic.
