Edward Danny, a resident of Bekasi, West Java, is relieved that he can now go outside without a mask if he avoids crowds, but says he will continue to wear a mask for the time being.

“I am excited at the prospect that the pandemic might soon be over,” the 54-year-old said on Wednesday. “But personally, I will keep on wearing face masks, since the point of it is to protect myself and those around me.”

Meanwhile, 23-year-old Hizkia Kenya of North Jakarta feels conflicted about the newly eased rule. “Yes, I’m happy that cases are declining. But I am also afraid that cases might rise again if people start to disregard the other health protocols,” he said.
