Activities at Blok B Tanah Abang Market, Jakarta, Monday (3/5/2021). Although it is not as crowded as on Saturday (1/5/2021) and Sunday (3/5/2021), residents who shop for clothes for their needs ahead of Idul Fitri are still visible.

Thousands of people flocked to Tanah Abang Market, Central Jakarta, on Saturday and Sunday. Crowds could not be avoided as people shopped for groceries and clothes ahead of Idul Fitri. Most of them wore masks but in such crowded places, it was impossible to maintain a safe distance as required under health protocols (Kompas 3/5/2021).

The crowds at Tanah Abang Market are among many problems related to the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic that concern us. Other concerning cases are the practice of bribery in order to evade quarantine and the use of used antigen test kits. The law has been enforced. For example, in the case related to the use of used antigen test kits at the Kimia Farma Laboratory at Kualanamu Airport, North Sumatra, the police have named five suspects (Kompas, 29/4/2021).
