DKI Deputy Governor: 39 Schools Closed Due To COVID-19 Cases

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said that currently there are 39 schools that have temporarily closed 100 percent face-to-face learning (PTM) due to the findings of COVID-19 cases.

"So far, there has been an increase in closed schools. In total, 39 schools have been closed. There are 62 students exposed, 2 educators, 3 education personnel. A total of 67 have been exposed to the corona virus," said Riza at DKI City Hall, Jakarta. Center, Monday, January 17th.

Riza said that the temporary closure due to the findings of COVID-19 cases was carried out for five days. The closure was first carried out since January 8 and now some schools have reopened.

"Of all the schools, some have reopened. These schools (which were exposed to COVID-19) have spread throughout the region," said Riza.

Riza admitted that the DKI Provincial Government has not been able to determine the cause of the emergence of COVID-19 cases that infect school residents as long as PTM is 100 percent running.

However, they are most likely to catch the corona while outside of school. Because, so far, on average, not many cases are found in one school.

"From temporary data, more of those exposed were not at school, either at home or traveling. We can see this because in general each school is exposed to a few, an average of one or two (cases)," he explained.
