South Lampung and Pandeglang Regions Hit Hard by Volcanic Ash, Schools Move Online

The ash fallout was most severe in South Lampung, Tanggamus and Pandeglang districts, where deposits coated streets, fields and residential areas. Local officials advised citizens to wear masks when outdoors and to keep a distance of at least two miles from the volcano's crater. In response to health concerns, schools in Jakarta and Lampung switched to remote learning, delivering lessons via online platforms. Fishing activities along the coast were also curtailed due to reduced air quality.
