Action taken in the country
Lockdown: Partial
The government continues to employ its four-level public activity restrictions system (PPKM) to implement domestic COVID-19 controls. PPKM tiers run from Level 1 through Level 4 in increasing order of severity.
Level 3 curbs in Java and Bali permit most essential and non-essential industries to operate at a maximum of 50 percent of employees working on-site and 75 percent for export-related businesses. Pamekasan Regency in East Java Province is the only Level 3 area in Java and Bali.
Outside Java and Bali, Level 3 rules allow non-essential establishments to operate at a maximum of 50 percent capacity on-site, whereas essential businesses may operate at 100 percent. Level 3 locations include Banjarmasin, Kendari, Makassar, Palembang, Pontianak, and Sorong cities and Jayapura, Mimika, and Poso regencies.
Most areas in the country, including Jakarta Province, are classified as Level 2 localities. Most businesses and activities under levels 1 and 2 across the country may occur at a maximum of 75 percent and full capacity, respectively. Businesses and facilities defined as operating in critical sectors can work on-site at full capacity nationwide. Facemasks are mandatory in public areas nationwide. Local jurisdictions may implement tighter restrictions on top of the measures mandated by the central government if the rate of transmission warrants.
