Government imposes large-scale social restrictions to prevent coronavirus disease spread in Jakarta, IndonesiaJAKARTA: Indonesia has imposed curbs on public transport ahead of the annual exodus to home villages that marks the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, in a bid to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the government said on Sunday .
The capital Jakarta is the epicentre of the outbreak in the world's biggest Muslim-majority country, with the most infections and deaths among a national tally of 3,842 cases and 327 fatalities.President Joko Widodo has been criticised for rejecting calls for an outright ban on the Ramadan travel home, as well as stricter lockdowns such as those imposed by neighbours.
Sunday's directive also limits public transport vehicles to half capacity, shorter operational hours and set outs guidelines for motorbike taxis in regions covered by Indonesia's large-scale social restrictions.
