JAKARTA - As of Monday, September 14, DKI Jakarta will re-implement the PSBB as in the early days of the pandemic. In that sense, the transitional PSBB which has been in effect so far will be removed.

In the aftermath of this PSBB, DKI Jakarta strictly restricts the movement of its citizens. Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan asked Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to postpone community events, including such as family gatherings and reunions.

Anies said, the potential for COVID-19 transmission in such an event is very high. Because usually in the community they know each other so that they ignore health protocols.

"Remember, the potential for transmission in such events is huge," said Anies during a virtual press conference from City Hall, Wednesday, September 9.

Starting September 14th, the odd-even policy will also be abolished. "But that does not mean we are free to be independent," he continued.

Anies explained that the conditions for the spread of COVID-19 in Jakarta were worse than in the early days. Anies even mentioned the word 'emergency' to describe the massive spread of COVID-19 in Jakarta.

"Don't leave the house if it's not an emergency," he said.
