Members Of The DPR From The PDIP Faction: Please Mr. Jokowi, Conditions Are Emergency, Implement PSBB

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the House of Representatives Charles Honoris asked President Joko Widodo to immediately decide on the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) because the conditions were already an emergency. Bandang, which we already know about the threat, but we were too late to deal with it," Charles said in a written statement in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Sunday, June 27. This PDI-P politician said the daily number of COVID-19 cases continued to set records day by day. shows the infection curve in Indonesia is continuing to skyrocket, and it is not yet known where the peak point will be. According to him, the skyrocketing curve, even almost vertically, is similar to India's infection curve in April, which paralyzed the country due to the very high transmission rate after the ceremony. religious mass. Charles said the government's efforts to prevent Indonesia from being paralyzed like India through the tightened PPKM Micro needs to be appreciated. However, looking at the daily number of COVID-19 cases that have continued to set records recently, Micro PPKM according to him is no longer effective in reducing the rate of transmission upstream. "The bed occupancy rate (BOR) of downstream health facilities, such as in five provinces on the island of Java, has been increasing. red, above 80 percent," said Charles.

According to him, to save the downstream which is almost collapsing, President Jokowi needs to implement PSBB nationally or at least lock up on Java Island, which has implications for the total closure of schools, shopping centers and offices, except for a handful of certain vital business sectors. If the amount is not carried out in the upstream, any additional capacity for health facilities in the downstream will still not be sufficient, added Charles. Moreover, he continued, not all provinces have the same capacity for health facilities. The capacity of health facilities in Java is certainly different from the capacity in Eastern Indonesia. "We certainly do not want, without massive social restrictions, other provinces such as in Eastern Indonesia, where the BOR of health facilities is still green, to become chaotic like the current health facilities in Java. ," Charles said. He emphasized that the downstream health facilities would not be strong enough to reduce "flash flooding" if the transmission rate from upstream was very heavy. "We must contain the rapid transmission of COVID-19 in the upstream area as early as possible with massive social restrictions," said Charles. .
