Central Government Stops Financing For Isolation Of COVID-19 In Hotels And Healthcare Lodging In Jakarta, Anies Determines New Location

JAKARTA - The central government has stopped financing the isolation facilities for COVID-19 patients at hotels, inns, and guesthouses in Jakarta. Not only that, the cost of lodging for health workers who handle COVID-19 is also similar.

Previously, the cost of lodging and the needs of isolated patients and lodging for health workers were borne by the central government.

Therefore, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has set several new isolation locations. This is stated in the Governor's Decree Number 675 of 2021.

The Governor's Decree, which was signed on May 31, 2021, revoked the Governor's Decree No. 979 of 2020 calmly that the isolation location was controlled for previous COVID-19 patients.

"With the policy of the National COVID-19 Handling Task Force regarding the termination of financing for hotels, lodging, and guesthouses for confirmed COVID-19 people, both asymptomatic and with mild symptoms, and lodging costs for health workers handling COVID-19 and guaranteeing legal certainty in fulfilling the need for controlled isolation facilities and lodging for health workers, the Governor's Decree No. 979 of 2020 needs to be changed", Anies said to the governor, quoted Monday, June 7.

The determination of the isolation location was also carried out when new COVID-19 clusters began to appear in several RTs (Neighborhood Association), such as in Ciracas, Semper Barat, to Kayu Putih.

Currently, there are thousands of isolation beds and lodging for health workers provided by Anies. These locations are in hotels, guesthouses, flats, sports halls, mosques, and schools.
