DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan officially "pulled the emergency brake" which revoked the transitional PSBB policy and returned it to the tightened PSBB policy.

"By looking at this emergency situation in Jakarta, there is no other choice but to decide to pull the emergency brake. This means that we are forced to apply the PSBB just like the beginning of the pandemic. This is the emergency brake that we must draw," Anies said in a press statement delivered at the Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday 9 September evening.

Anies' reason for making this decision for Jakarta was due to three indicators, namely the death rate, the availability of isolation beds and the special ICU for COVID-19 and the rate of positive cases in Jakarta.
