DEPOK – After being suspended due to an increase in the positive trend of COVID-19, now limited face-to-face learning (PTM) is being carried out in schools throughout the Depok City, West Java Province. However, this is not the case with education units that are still handling COVID-19 cases.

"There has been a downward trend in the number of COVID-19 cases in the PTMT cluster in several areas after a temporary suspension was carried out some time ago," said Depok Mayor Mohammad Idris as quoted in a press release by the city government in Depok, Tuesday, November 30.

In order to prevent this from happening again, education unit managers, education staff, parents, guardians of students, and students in Depok City are required to implement provisions regarding the implementation of face-to-face learning on a limited basis, including the discipline of implementing health protocols.

For this reason, the Mayor asked the Depok City Education Office and the education unit manager to consolidate to oversee the implementation of the provisions regarding the limited implementation of face-to-face learning.

Previously, the Depok City government temporarily suspended limited face-to-face learning activities in schools in Pancoranmas District for ten days from 19 to 29 November 2021 following the emergence of cases of COVID-19 transmission in education units.
