More areas of highly populated Java island have been removed from the most severe Level 4 category, according to President Jokowi, who noted that hospital bed occupancy rates in those places had decreased over the past week.
According to senior minister Luhut Pandjaitan, restaurants and non-essential sectors will have their restrictions lifted, while the government expands the use of a smartphone application for tracking.
Retailers would be allowed to serve up to 50% more dine-in customers than presently allowed, and malls may remain open until 9 p.m., an hour later than already allowed.
The government will also test indoor eating for eateries outside shopping centers in major cities.
All factories may run with 100% employees split into shifts if they have appropriate government papers, he said.
