Jakarta (VNA) – Sixty-four shopping malls across Jakarta will reopen in early June after having been closed since April because of large-scale social restrictions, reported the Jakarta Post.

According to the Indonesian Shopping Center Association (APPBI)'s Jakarta chapter chairman, Ellen Hidayat, 60 shopping centers will reopen for business on June 5 and the remaining four on June 8.

The move is in accordance with Gubernatorial Decree No. 489/2020 on the PSBB extension in Jakarta, which will end on June 4. 

Personnel will be deployed to supervise the observance of COVID-19 prevention and control regulations, such as wearing face masks and maintaining physical distance.

A shopping mall that can accommodate 1,000 people, for instance, will be allowed to hold only 500 people./.
