Jakarta: More than a dozen Indonesian McDonald’s outlets were temporarily shuttered on Wednesday over virus fears as the chain’s new BTS meal deal sparked frenzied buying from fans in the K-pop mad country.
Jakarta and several other cities slapped closure stickers on at least 13 outlets that were deluged with online food-delivery drivers picking up a meal set named after the hugely popular Korean boy band.
"We temporarily closed four of six McDonald’s stores here in Semarang for a couple of days," said Fajar Purwoto, the city’s public order agency head. "I don’t want Semarang to be in the Covid-19 red zone again".
