Although the Indonesian central government is considering the relaxation of segregation measures and is ready to allow the reopening of commercial activities, the capital Jakarta Governor Anis announced that the "large-scale community segregation" measures will be extended until June 4.

Before the expiration of the 23rd of the month, Anis announced the extension of the implementation of the measure until May 22.

Anis urged the public to abide by community segregation regulations and hygiene regulations and try not to go out at home as much as possible. He said that Jakarta ’s community segregation measures have achieved significant results, and “hope this is the last time the segregation measures have been extended”.

We hope to cooperate with the Tzu Chi Foundation Indonesia Branch in the future, let Chinese construction employees participate in local volunteer service activities, and contribute to the promotion of Sino-Indonesian friendship.
