Weeks after the Delta variant of the coronavirus ripped through Jakarta, the Indonesian capital has reached 'herd immunity', the city's deputy governor said, ahead of an expected decision by the president on Monday on whether to extend COVID-19 curbs.

On July 12, Jakarta recorded more than 14,600 infections, but by Sunday the figure had fallen to 700. Nationally, just over 11% of the population have been fully vaccinated since the Southeast Asian nation began its inoculation program this January. Home to more than 10 million people, Jakarta has predominately administered China's Sinovac vaccine, while some residents have received Astra Zeneca and Sinopharm shots.
