Jakarta Extends Partial Lockdown to February 22

Jakarta City Administration is extending partial lockdown, also known as large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) for another two weeks to February 22.

“[The partial lockdown] has been extended by another two weeks starting from today [Monday],” said Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan in a virtual discussion on Monday, February 8.

Anies said the restrictions remain the same as the previous PSBB which refers to Home Affairs Minister Instruction No. 3/2021.

He said that Jakarta has been implementing a micro-scale of enforcement of public activity restrictions (PPKM) for quite a while.

That is why, he added, Jakarta does not need much to prepare the micro-scale PPKM as the task force team at the community unit (RT) and neighborhood unit (RW) are still active.

“We will continue to activate the task force team at the neighborhood unit level,” Anies said.
