DKI Transition PSBB Extended and Residents Must Be More Alert

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan extended again the application of the transitional large-scale social limitation (PSBB) in Jakarta. The transition PSBB to reduce the transmission rate of the corona virus (Covid-19) will take effect until 30 July 2020.

Anies said there were a number of components that were considered to extend the transition PSBB. Among them is the number of testing and positive ratios, readiness of health facilities, and the reproduction rate of spreading the virus. Anies PSBB policy was taken by Anies as an effort to reduce the spread of the virus, while stimulating economic conditions that had collapsed due to the pandemic.

A number of activities that had been limited during the PSBB began to be relaxed. Offices, religious activities, shopping centers, until the amusement park reopened. All permitted activities must comply with a number of health protocols. The community is also encouraged to be outside if there is no urgent interest.

Nevertheless, the easing of the PSBB during this transition period then had a significant impact on the addition of the number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Jakarta. Anies also reminded Jakarta residents to remain aware of the spread of the corona virus. Because, during the past week, 66 percent of positive cases in Jakarta are people who have no symptoms of illness.
