How is the implementations of quarantine in Indonesia ? - EXPLANATION TEXT

     Governments use quarantines to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Quarantines are for people or groups who don’t have symptoms but were exposed to the sickness. A quarantine keeps them away from others so they don’t knowingly infect anyone.

    The health ministry is processing more requests from regional administrations to impose large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) after Indonesia recorded the highest single-day increase of COVID-19 cases with 399 new cases. Jakarta was the first region to impose strict social restrictions under the PSBB status. In Jakarta, PSBB is scheduled to last for 14 days, although it may be extended after the current final day of 24th April 2020. During this PSBB period, eight essential sectors will continue to operate, while schools, universities, and the majority of offices will carry on with their routines online. Supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open,including those located in shopping malls.

     In addition to that, it is now compulsory to wear a mask in public places, so be sure to wash your reusable ones regularly.
