JAKARTA - Indonesia plans to fine violators of social distancing rules under a new law as President Joko Widodo steps up efforts to contain the biggest outbreak of coronavirus in South-east Asia.
Jokowi, as the president is popularly known, has pointed to reluctance among Indonesians to wear masks as a key reason for the spread of the virus that's claimed almost 3,800 lives and infected 80,094 people, the most among South-east Asian nations. He said local governments may follow the example of West Java, which already punishes offenders of various health protocols.
