Indonesia has been reluctant to enforce a complete nationwide lockdown – instead, many cities have adopted 'large-scale social restrictions' that have closed businesses and encouraged people to stay home.

SALATIGA, Indonesia - A traditional market on the island of Java has moved outdoors and set stalls at least a metre apart as Indonesia looks to safely maintain the bazaars where most people go to get affordable food and are part of the fabric of society.

A vegetable seller said the social distancing measures made him feel safe and comfortable at work. At least eight confirmed cases of the virus have been found in the city of Salatiga, local media has reported. Attempts to keep traditional market stalls running are happening elsewhere in the country, in one form for or another, with precautions in place.

Customers must wear masks, sit apart while waiting for their turn to shop and wash their hands after shopping.
