In the absence of strict and effective measures by the Indonesian government in order to contain COVID-19 outbreak, many places around the archipelago have been resorting to their own version of lockdown. Typically, it is initiated by small villages, housing compounds, or gated communities. There, locals would build barricades at the area’s entrance and non-residents are not allowed to pass through.
