Greater Jakarta is slowly adapting to the so-called new normal as the government gradually phases out restrictions in a variety of sectors.
Business activities and public services have resumed under strict health protocols. Meanwhile, schools have held drive-thru and virtual graduation ceremonies, and are now gearing up for the new academic year that starts on July 13.

Still, critics abound as the government insists on sticking to its “new normal” plan – despite the continuing rise in new cases and the highest COVID-19 tally in Southeast Asia with 42,762 cases on Thursday. [yps]
