Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The provincial government of DKI Jakarta is planning an ’emergency brake’ policy to handle Covid-19 in early January. Business actors are confused about the emergence of this discourse. Because if the ’emergency brake’ is applied there will be a strict PSBB that has proven to affect the economic sector.
The reason is that, if implemented, it has the potential to further devastate the real sector and increase uncertainty. Although commercial actors need certainty to run their business or business.
“The choice is difficult for the business world because now the business has just started its activities, so on the one hand if the PSBB does not take place it is also for us, when will it end? The business world needs certainty. The hope is that the PSBB is implemented as it is now but there is more tightening “, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) DKI Jakarta Diana Dewi to CNBC Indonesia, Tuesday (12/29).
The purpose of tightening the PSBB is that the government, as a regulator and supervisor, should be more active in following the Covid-19 health protocol in the community. In addition, the appeal to the community must also be executable.
Diana understands that the current situation of the DKI Jakarta provincial government is really difficult. On the one hand, it is necessary to maintain the economy so that it does not fall again, but on the other hand, the positive number of Covid-19 is increasing. “So if I say simalakama fruit, this is a difficult choice,” he explained.
Amid these difficult conditions, Diana assessed that the increase in the number of confirmed positives was not due to the high number of exposures, but also to other factors.
“In fact, we understand that the trend of Covid-19 infection in Jakarta has increased, but we need to know more PCR tests, both results were late entry, so there seems to have been an increase that day and in the last few days. and with the conditions that we know (in fact) it increased, “he said.
Covid-19 cases in DKI Jakarta have continued to rise throughout December 2020. In fact, citing corona.jakarta.go.id, DKI Jakarta recorded a record number of Covid-19 cases four times in December of 2020 with details on December 17 with 1,690 cases, on December 19. 1,899 cases, December 23, 1,964 cases and more recently on December 25, 2,096 cases.
