DKI Jakarta Implements Micro PPKM
On February 8, 2021, the Governor of DKI Jakarta issued Decree No. 107 of 2021 (the “Decree”) on the Entry into Force of Micro-Scale Public Activity Restrictions (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat Berbasis Mikro – the “Micro PPKM”). The Decree is effective as of February 9, 2021 until February 22, 2021.
The Decree sets out similar provisions contained in the previous decree, i.e., the Governor of DKI Jakarta Decree No. 51 of 2021 dated January 22, 2021 on the Extension of Entry into Force, Period and Outdoor Activities Limitation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions. The key changes in the Decree are as follows:
- Activities at Workplaces
Private offices and state-owned enterprises are required to limit their “work from office” policy to 50% (fifty percent) from the full capacity of the workplace. If an employee is confirmed Corona Virus Disease 2019 (“Covid-19”) positive, the workplace shall be closed for at least 3×24 (three times twenty-four) hours and must be thoroughly disinfected.
- Restaurants Activities
Restaurants and cafes may open for dine-in for only up to 50% (fifty percent) from the full capacity. Dine-in service is permissible only until 9:00 p.m. (Jakarta time).
- Activities at Shopping Malls
Shopping centers or malls may only operate until 9:00 p.m. (Jakarta time). The standard health protocols must be applied during the operational hours, including providing hand sanitizer and the verification of visitors’ body temperatures before they enter the buildings.
Although the Decree is only applicable in Jakarta, other regions will also apply similar policies on the Micro PPKM. The Minister of Home Affairs Instruction No. 3 of 2021 dated February 5, 2021 on the Entry into Force of Micro PPKM and the Establishment of Posts for Covid-19 Management in Villages and Urban Villages to Manage the Spread of Covid-19 orders Governors and Mayors/Regents of specific cities/regencies in Jawa and Bali to also apply similar Micro PPKM policies.
As of February 9, 2021, Indonesia recorded 8,700 new cases of Covid-19, 3,437 of which were cases in Jakarta.
