JAKARTA (Reuters) - Restaurants, shops and transport services were back up and running in Indonesia capital on Monday, as restrictions were eased further despite the country posting its biggest daily spike in coronavirus infections two days earlier.

Offices in Jakarta, the epicentre of Indonesia's outbreak, were operating with limits on employee numbers while traffic wasted no time in returning to gridlock, with cars bumper-to-bumper and clusters of motorcycles sandwiched between lanes.

"Thank God today I can reopen my business, but I'm not sure how the customer traffic will be," said Kusnoto, 60, who like many Indonesians uses only one name. "We can just only hope that the customers are willing to be informed to keep their distance, like sitting on different tables for example," he added.

But it remains the worst-hit country in East Asia outside China, with 32,033 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus and 1,883 deaths. Indonesia has had no national lockdown and cities have been allowed to impose restrictions, though not all are strictly followed.
