Food stalls provide a place to wash their hands in the north coast of West Java, in Pegagan Village, Palimanan District, Cirebon Regency, Sunday (7/7/2020). The Covid-19 pandemic hit businesses in the northern coast. Turnover decreased dramatically, even had to close.

Small business owners on West Java’s northern coastal road (Pantura) are befriending loneliness once again. After new toll roads bulldozed their economy, now they have to contend with the COVID-19 outbreak. The new normal brings them hope and fear.

A container of water can be found in front of a food stall on West Java’s northern coastal road in Pegagan village, Palimanan district, Cirebon regency, on Sunday (5/7/2020) afternoon. Along with liquid soap, the container of water was how the food stall’s owner adapted to the ongoing pandemic.
