“That is also a wisdom for us statement Everyone is waiting for the Covid-19, be it by the community, the economic actors, so it is a matter of precaution on our part so that each of these statements is correctly counted.

When the government was about to hold a press conference for Wisma Athlete’s latest status and development update, the activity was delayed for more than three hours. While on schedule, the press conference was held at 15.00 WIB, but it was held at 18.30 WIB, due to the tough discussion from Jakarta PSBB.

Now the government is still holding meetings on the Jakarta PSBB plan. DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is planning a full PSBB again on Monday (9/14/2020). When he announced the plan, market participants responded negatively. The Composite Stock Price Index (JCI) also fell to 4,891 on the day of the announcement.

For information, Anies also received attacks from the cabinet ministers of President Jokowi and the head of the Jabodetabek area in connection with PSBB’s total plan for DKI Jakarta. However, support for the DKI governor came from the Civil Society Coalition, academics, and social media activists.

Covid-19 Task Force Chairman Doni Monardo revealed that the meeting on Jakarta PSBB policy is still being discussed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government with the Covid-19 Management Task Force. Meetings are held today through tomorrow.

“Tonight until tomorrow morning, so that the announcement to the public has a certainty, harmonization between central and regional interests,” Doni said.

Doni emphasized that the government prioritizes public health. However, the central government tends to want the Social Restrictions at the Micro and Community Scale (PSBMK) to become the spearhead or front line.

“Don’t let the hospital doctors become the main guard, they must be the last bastion, so that we can save the doctors, other health workers and nurses. We don’t want to lose any more doctors, “Doni said.
