jpnn.com, JAKARTA – DKI’s Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan again blames the long vacation in late October as the cause of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the capital city. According to him, the holiday period damaged the success of the DKI provincial government in suppressing the spread of COVID-19.
Anies said that all the policies of the DKI Jakarta provincial government regarding COVID-19 were based on data on the development of positive cases, the cure rate, the level of spread to the death rate.
“From the beginning, the provincial government of DKI Jakarta has been committed to providing comprehensive information on the management of COVID-19, nothing is covered up. Therefore, all our policies related to Covid are data-driven,” Anies said in a COVID-19 Management Webinar at DKI Jakarta in Jakarta, Tuesday (11/23).
Since last March, Anies said, his party had adopted several measured policies to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Beginning with school closings on March 16, followed by Large Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) on April 10. After the decline in cases occurred, the DKI Jakarta provincial government decided to relax some of the PSBB regulations.
On September 14, 2020, Anies said, his party was forced to remove the emergency brake that returned all the strict PSBB regulations. The reason is that the number of positive cases and the mortality rate has increased again.
“But we managed to bring it down again slowly. But just when it started to fall, suddenly there was a long holiday (October). Consequently, we are now starting to see another significant increase,” he said.
