TOKYO -- Indonesia's top ride-hailing and e-commerce companies are already "well integrated" to navigate a looming lockdown as COVID-19 cases in the country surge, GoTo President Patrick Cao said at webinar hosted by the Financial Times and Nikkei on Tuesday.

Indonesia's on-demand app Gojek and e-commerce company Tokopedia in May said they would combine and form a holding company called GoTo, in what was considered Indonesia's largest ever merger. The group will span ride-hailing, food delivery, online shopping and payments.
