DKI Jakarta became the epicenter of the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government implemented Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) starting April 10, 2020. This PSBB then ran through three phases and began to be relaxed in early June with a transitional PSBB status.
When the government began relaxing the PSBB, the daily number of positive Covid-19 cases in DKI Jakarta slowly increased again. On Wednesday (July 8), it even increased by 344 positive cases in a single day, bringing the total to 13,069 cases. This additional figure was also the highest since the disease struck the capital in March. The number of active cases was 3,973, consisting of 417 people undergoing treatment and 3,556 people self-isolating.
The Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, chose to extend the transitional PSBB until July 16. This extension changed the previous plan for the transitional PSBB to end on July 2.
