JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Covid-19 Management Working Group delivered an assessment of the management of Covid-19 in 10 priority provinces, after two weeks or the period 13-27 September 2020.

The spokesperson for the Covid-19 Management Working Group, Wiku Adisasmito, admitted that this assessment was carried out because many people were wondering what the results of managing Covid-19 would be in these priority provinces.

Especially after President Joko Widodo specifically appointed Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investments Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan and Chairman of the Covid-19 Management Working Group, Doni Monardo.

“All parties want to know how it has happened in the last two weeks with respect to the 9 priority provinces plus Banten. Namely, from September 13 to 27. Since the appointment of the Coordinating Minister of Marves and the Head of the Task Force Covid-19 management, “Wiku said in a press release from the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, on Thursday (1/10/2020).

When looking at the figures by province, the percentage of cured cases also increased, except in South Sulawesi and Papua.

“We ask that the local governments of South Sulawesi and Papua continue to improve their efforts to improve the health and treatment of patients in hospitals to increase this rate of recovery,” he said.
