LIVE – The Chairman of the Committee for the Management of COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery, Airlangga Hartarto, asked the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, not to take the wrong dose in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because it could shake Indonesia’s economic fundamentals amid the current pandemic.
According to him, Anies’s statement, which re-implemented the Large Scale Total Social Restrictions (PSBB), as in March 2020, was considered a drug overdose given an increase in the positive rate of patients with COVID-19.
“So that we do not take measures that say an overdose, the impact is that Jakarta is not a city, Jakarta not only reflects 20 percent, but the nerve center of the national economy. So that what is taken reflects national politics.” said Airlangga virtually, Sunday, September 13, 2020.

In fact, Airlangga emphasized that based on existing data, the cure rate for COVID-19 patients in Jakarta was high, exceeding the national recovery rate. In fact, level fatality rate o The deaths of patients exposed to the virus are much lower than at the national level.
“The cure rate is higher than the national level. If the national level is 71.4 percent, Jakarta is 75.2 percent. So when you talk about the national death rate it is higher than 4 percent. percent, Jakarta is 2.7 percent. So it means that the death rate is lower than the national one, “said Airlangga, who is also the Coordinating Minister of Economy.
Rather than rerun the full PSBB, Airlangga claimed that what Anies had to do was micromanage its policies to control the COVID-19 outbreak, which has resurfaced at DKI in recent days.
For example, Airlangga said, the odd-pair policy caused the spread of COVID-19 in mass modes of transportation to increase dramatically. Likewise with the opening of entertainment centers, until the day is free of vehicles or car free day which is too dense.
“This has to be viewed one by one and that is micro, that is what West Java does. Central Java does not have PSBB so micromanagement is important so that we know the source and do not take action that says overdose,” said Airlangga . (ren)
