Serang, CNN Indonesia –
Task Force Unit (Satgas) COVID-19 Indonesia enters the city Cilegon, Banten, at high risk of transmission of the coronavirus or red zone, Tuesday (9/22). Previously, the City of Baja was in a middle position or orange zone.
Previously, in Banten province there were only three areas with red zone status, namely in the Tangerang Raya area (Tangerang City, Tangerang Regency and South Tangerang City).
When confirmed, Cilegon City Covid-19 Task Force spokesperson Aziz admitted that he did not know about the change.
“I do not know yet, nor have I seen and transmitted it. There are also those who inform us that Cilegon is in a high-risk area for the transmission of Covid,” Aziz said when contacted via cellular connection on Tuesday night.
Still, Aziz hypothesizes that Cilegon’s rise to the red zone cannot be separated from people who neglect to implement health protocols such as wearing masks, washing hands, and keeping their distance.
Aziz also hopes that a clean and healthy lifestyle will become the conscience and obligation of the people of Cilegon City in their daily lives. That, he said, became one of the reliable moves to break the Corona transmission chain.
“If that is true, then we as members of the task force are quite concerned about why we may enter a high risk area. Perhaps this is due to the increase in positive cases in Cilegon City. [Pemerintah] The city continues to appeal to improve health protocols, because with that we can break the chain of transmission of Covid 19, “he said.
According to data sent by Aziz, there has indeed been an increase in daily positive cases of Covid-19 in the city of Cilegon.
On September 19, 2020, there were 353 positive patients, then on September 20, 2020 it became 365, the last one on September 22, 2020 became 376 cases.
Regarding the Covid-19 countermeasures, Aziz affirmed that the Cilegon City Government has prepared an independent isolation building in a shelter owned by the Social Agency located in Cikerai. The building, he said, could accommodate at least 40 people.
“So there are some who are treated at Banten Hospital, some are also treated independently. If there is no congenital disease, then independent isolation. If there is a congenital disease, it is treated at Banten Hospital. We have prepared it in Cikerai, a transition center managed by Social Affairs. , it has capacity for 40 beds, now it seems that it is still empty, “he said.
