JABAR - West Java Governor M Ridwan Kamil ensured Face-to-face Learning (PTM) in the entire West Java region is being evaluated given the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in a number of regions.

"Omicron is increasing again, so the majority of PTMs are being evaluated," said Ridwan Kamil in a press statement quoted by Antara, Friday, February 4.

Kang Emil - as he is called - added, the West Java Provincial Government is not rash and always makes measured decisions based on data. Each district/city is ordered to review PTM in their respective areas, especially monitoring transmission in the school environment.

As in the city of Bogor, which has been allowed to temporarily stop PTM because the transmission is quite high.

"Some have been postponed pending the development of cases because we make decisions that are always measured based on data," said Kang Emil.

Currently, the spike in COVID-19 cases is still dominated by the agglomeration areas of Bodebek and Greater Bandung, which are still the epicenters. Therefore, said Kang Emil, the handling will be more focused on the area.

"It was repeated, from the first COVID-19 gathered there," he said.

So it is very likely, he continued, that policy changes will occur in the areas of Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Greater Bandung, including PTM decisions in schools.

"Most likely the majority policy change in the region," said Kang Emil.
