Daily Ummat ■ DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has again extended the Transitional Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) for 14 days from 23 November to 6 December 2020.
The extension of the PSBB for this transitional period is based on the Decree of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Number 1100/2020 which emphasizes that if there is no significant increase in Covid-19 cases, the Transitional PSBB will be automatically extended for two weeks.
"As we all know, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can implement an emergency brake policy if there is a significant increase in cases or an alarming rate of transmission that endangers health system services," said DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan in a written statement, on Sunday (22 / 11).
Based on epidemiological data during the implementation of the PSBB in the transition period of the last two weeks, the conditions for the Covid-19 DKI Jakarta outbreak are still under control and heading for safety.
It should be noted that the daily report of positive cases in Jakarta had reached a new record, namely 1,579 cases last Saturday (21/11).
According to Anies, this condition should not make the community more ignorant and undisciplined.
"Remember, transmission still occurs even though it is slowing down. In the future, we will further strengthen enforcement of health protocols and we hope that the public will be proactive when they know about violations," said Anies. (**)
