JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the Entry and Exit Permit (SIKM) would not be enforced when the Full Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) were implemented.

“(During the PSBB), but it was more about interactions in Jakarta,” Anies said.

It is known that the PSBB will be implemented again from September 14, 2020.

Anies said this decision was made considering a number of factors, namely the availability of hospital beds that were almost full and the high mortality rate.

“At a meeting of the working group to accelerate the control of Covid-19 in Jakarta, it was concluded that we will pull the emergency brake, which means that we are forced to re-implement social restrictions on a large scale as in the first days of the pandemic, “Anies said on Wednesday (9/9/2020).

According to Anies, this decision also followed the rule of President Joko Widodo, calling for health to be prioritized.

With the implementation of this PSBB, it is certain that various activities, namely office activities, business, transportation, will again be restricted to public facilities.
