The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has an impact on the economy of households in Indonesia, with 50% of them suffering from financial distress. Limited employment because of contracted business activities as the result of the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) led to families receiving less income, while prices of daily necessities tended to climb up. It has also been more difficult to access basic social services, such as health and education services, during the pandemic.
