Why Did Anies Baswedan Extend Transitional PSBB?
Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan decided to extend the transitional large-scale social limitation (PSBB). The third transitional phase takes effect from July 31 to August 13, 2020. "We are considering all conditions to decide on an extension of transitional PSBB to August 13, 2020," Anies said on Thursday (7/30).
Anies said the transitional PSBB extension would be followed by tightening the health protocol to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Among those protocols is imposing progressive fines on businesses that repeatedly violate PSBB. Offices and businesses can operate if they can limit the number of employees and visitors and apply work time intervals for employees.
