There are areas with several cases that have not changed after the PSBB

YAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – President Joko Widodo said the implementation of large-scale social restrictions (PSBBs) that had been implemented in various regions had to be evaluated to abolish Covid-19.

He said that the application of CBND in the regions produced different effects.

“If we observe that the results vary and vary in each region. This is because the implementation is also carried out with different activities,” said Jokowi when opening a limited meeting through video conference, Tuesday (05/12/2020).

“There are areas where the addition of new cases has decreased gradually, consistently, but not drastically. There are areas where the addition of cases has decreased but also has not been consistent and is still volatile,” he said.

Jokowi also explained that there are regions that are implementing CBSS, but this does not seem to show results. Covid-19 case addition remains relatively the same.

“There are also areas where the addition of cases has not changed, as before PSBB,” he said.

Therefore, Jokowi said, the implementation of the PSBB should be evaluated so that the results are optimal and can reduce the rate of adding Covid-19 cases daily.

He said that there should be a comparison between one region and another in the implementation of the PSBB so that the causes of the success and failure of an area in the implementation of the rule are known.

“We want a detailed assessment in the regency and city provinces regarding data on the trend to add or decrease new positive cases in each region, both those implementing PSBB and not,” Jokowi said.
