On a Friday morning, from the loudspeaker of a nearby mosque, I could hear the voice of the khateeb (mosque leader). In the first time for perhaps many decades, he asked people not to go to the mosque for Friday prayer so as to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. A few days later, a car with loudspeakers attached passed by my house. Inside, a man from the district council used the loudspeaker to tell people to stay at home, wash their hands, and practice a “healthy and clean lifestyle.” I imagine similar messages being amplified across the city. This was the face of Yogyakarta—a court city in central Java, Indonesia, that is also known as the “city of education” and “city of tourism”—at least it was in the first months after the announcement of the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike a few other Indonesian cities that have attempted to impose local lockdowns, the local government of Yogyakarta have maintained a position in favour of social distancing rather than a full lockdown.

大流行和地方措施：目睹印度尼西亚日惹的大流行，一个没有封锁的城市

星期五早上，从附近清真寺的扩音器里，我听到了 khateeb（清真寺领袖）的声音。可能是几十年来，他第一次要求人们不要去清真寺进行周五祈祷，以降低 COVID-19 传播的风险。几天后，一辆装有扩音器的汽车从我家经过。在里面，区议会的一名男子用扩音器告诉人们待在家里，勤洗手，养成“健康清洁的生活方式”。我想象类似的信息在整个城市被放大。这就是日惹——印度尼西亚爪哇中部的一个宫廷城市，也被称为“教育之城”和“旅游之城”——至少在宣布紧急状态后的头几个月里是这样的由于 COVID-19 大流行。
