The chairman of the COVID-19 Working Group to Accelerate Manipulation, Lt. Gen. Doni Monardo, revealed his reasons for granting concessions in terms of work activities for the age group 45 and under. This age group is the lowest related to mortality due to the Corona virus.

“Providing the opportunity for the age group of 45 years and younger to work again, the context should be seen in the Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 9/2020, namely Article 13. Therefore, there are 11 areas of activity they can afford, “Doni said after a limited meeting with President Joko Widodo, via the Indonesian Cabinet Secretariat YouTube Channel on Tuesday (05/12/2020).

Doni explained, according to data belonging to the Working Group to Accelerate the Handling of COVID-19, the case of death in the age group of 46-59 years and 60 years and more is much older. The data, Doni continued, was collected in the past two months.

“So why do we encourage company leaders, in the office, to prioritize the relatively young age group? Because of the data collected by the Task Force, that age 60 and older experienced the highest death rate of 45 percent. Then the age 46-59 years experienced the death rate is 40 percent. This is the information we have collected in the last two months, “Doni said.

“So, specifically for the 46-59 age group, the death rate was 40 percent, especially for those who have comorbidities. Therefore, the ages 46-59 who die have congenital diseases, comorbidities, like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease, chronic, then asthma, then kidney, and so on, “he continued.
