JAKARTA - Starting from the recommendation of social distancing until now to physical distancing, it has been issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). This movement is considered effective in suppressing the rate of Covid-19 which has not been stopped.

What about Tanah Abang? This area, which is almost never free from traffic jams and hustle and bustle of traders, can you apply social or physical distancing?

VOI editors toured this area, last Monday, March 23. We wanted to know whether the citizens of Jakarta could obey the advice to keep their distance from other people. Take a look at the shots of our photographer, Angga Nugraha, who toured the area. Take it easy, we don't forget to wear masks and wash our hands after our activities.

The socialization of the use of hand sanitizers continues. Hopefully the liquid in the tool, always available.

Tanah Abang is still active. There are still quite a number of shops that sell, although buyers can be counted on the fingers.

In fact, before that, if it wasn't really urgent, it would be better to avoid Tanah Abang. It's nothing, this area knows empty hours only at dawn

Even though it is quiet, it seems that the prohibition on crowding has not been implemented properly. There is no 1-2 meter distance between residents. Even though the corona virus (COVID-19), is still lurking.

If there is no commitment among all citizens, predictions of many researchers that the number of positive COVID-19 in Indonesia could increase sharply, it's just a matter of time.
