Residents crossed in front of the ethical mural when coughing on Jalan N, Utan Panjang, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Saturday (20/6/2020). A survey conducted by Nanyang Technological University together with Laporcovid19.org found that although Jakarta residents had good knowledge of the Covid-19 threat, they ignored the risk of contracting the new type of corona virus due to economic pressures and being forced to move outside the home.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Due to information bias, the public does not understand the dangers of the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The situation is exacerbated by the growing economic pressures, which have prompted many people to ignore the risks.

As a result, Jakarta’s residents have been deemed unready in terms of risk perception to enter the new normal phase.
