Indonesia's capital city closes schools for 2 weeks amid COVID-19 outbreak

Jakarta/Xinhua/UNI: Governor of the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta Anies Baswedan on Saturday said schools in the capital city will be closed for two weeks beginning on March 16, amid the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

The closure, he said, was made in a bid to avoid further spread of infections of the COVID-19 among children in the schools.

"The Jakarta administration has decided to close all the schools in the province and (all the schools) will conduct long distance learning courses," the governor said.

On Friday afternoon, the Indonesian government reported two new deaths due to COVID-19, bringing the total to four, while the number of cases has risen to 69.
