Anies Regarding Emergency PPKM: Not To Empty Jakarta Street

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that the policy of implementing Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) was solely to save everyone from the spread of COVID-19. Thus, the public is asked to comply with this policy.

"This is an effort to save. This is not to empty the streets of Jakarta. This is to save all of us, save you, your family, save all of our families," said Anies on Jalan Raya Bogor, East Jakarta, Sunday, July 4.

Therefore, people who are not included in the essential and critical sectors are asked to stay at home. In this way, it is tantamount to helping the government to get Indonesia out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I want to remind everyone that mobility restrictions must start from each of us," he said.

"Are we included in that sector or not. If not, then try to stay at home, stay at home," he continued.

However, if people do not obey and continue to choose to leave the house and have an impact on the continued increase in COVID-19 cases, it is not impossible that the Emergency PPKM scheme will be extended. So, Anies gave it completely to the community.

"There is one important thing, we want this to be finished quickly or we want it to take a long time, if we want it to be finished quickly, everyone stays at home. If it takes a long time to finish then we all move out, it will take a long time to finish," said Anies.

"This can be 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks. It really depends on our speed. In other countries there are up to 10 seasons of 9 weeks before returning to normal situations," he added.
