Airlangga Distributes 20 Kg Of Rice For Residents Who Are Self-isolated During PPKM

JAKARTA - The government has again extended the policy to impose restrictions on micro-scale community activities (PPKM) from March 9 to March 22, 2021. In its implementation, volume III of PPKM has been expanded to three new provinces, namely East Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, and North Sumatra.

Chairman of the Committee for Handling COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPC-PEN), Airlangga Hartarto said the government will provide basic needs for residents who carry out independent isolation, both isolation at the household level and neighborhood (RT) along with the extension of the micro PPKM.

"The micro PPKM was accompanied by the provision of 20 kg of rice which was self-isolated for 14 days and cloth masks according to standards", he said, in an online press conference, Monday, March 8.

Airlangga said that the rice aid would be distributed through the Police or the Indonesian National Army (TNI) at the Police and Military District Commander levels.

"Data on aid distribution will be reported periodically to the central task force through the regional task force", he said.

The provincial government is asked to coordinate the RT-level risk zonation mapping in all districts/cities in its territory which will be used as the basis for the calculation of rice and mask assistance as well as the implementation of testing, tracing, and treatment or 3T.

Previously, Airlangga had restrictions on activities in PPKM micro-volume 3 the same as in the previous period, such as offices implementing 50 percent work from home (WFH), teaching and learning activities still being carried out online, shopping centers or malls operating until 21:00 with health protocols.
