SOLO - The city of Solo has not implemented centralized isolation following the emergence of face-to-face learning clusters (PTM) as a result of surveillance or observation of these educational activities.

"Parents don't agree," said Surakarta Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo, Central Java, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 7.

However, according to him, so far the number of positive cases of COVID-19 from the second phase of surveillance activities has not been added, with the latest data being 31 cases.

"Not yet, not yet, still that," continued Gibran.

If cases continue to increase, the school must be closed until the contact tracing process is completed.

"Cases went up because of the OTG of school children," said Gibran.

Previously, the Head of the Surakarta City Health Office (DKK) Siti Wahyuningsih said that the contact tracing effort for the cases found from this surveillance activity could be completed completely.

"All of the loci have been carried out, hopefully, this is the last one so this week it is clear. As many as 31 positive cases are from 1,300 samples that we took from 30 schools," he said.
