Then, the Blok B building which is on the back side of Anies' office has been locked down from Monday, November 30 to Wednesday, December 2, as a result of Riza's positive COVID-19 results.

Meanwhile, half of the other buildings in City Hall, namely the Blok G Building as the main building, are still operating because there are no COVID-19 cases. The building on the right side contains the DKI Pemprov's civil servants.
"The offices of the Governor and Deputy Governor are separate from the main City Hall building. Therefore, the main building continues to operate with strict protocols so that the government runs well," Anies explained.
