Therefore, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan will provide incentives to hospital medical personnel in Jakarta in the form of Rp. 215 thousand. This money is given every day during the handling of the corona outbreak.

"The number of people who come to get services has increased significantly and the mental power they have to provide is quite large. Therefore, it will provide special incentives to health workers and other support personnel, who are involved in the prevention of the Covid-19 outbreak," he said.

Anies said this money was the maximum amount that each hospital could give. This is in line with the Minister of Finance Regulation Number 78 of 2019 regarding the standard cost of input in 2020.

"We give the highest numbers as a form of our respect to the medical team and all individuals involved in handling COVID-19 in Jakarta," said Anies.

Anies realized that their task was quite heavy. They are at the forefront of handling coronavirus and the people most at risk of exposure. In fact, until now there have been recorded nurses with the status of suspect corona who died.
