JAKARTA - The chairman of DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetio Edi Marsudi, agrees with the decision of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan to implement the PSBB again. In fact, Prasetio asked Anies to tighten monitoring of health protocol from now on.

"I emphasize to the governor so that all supervision is tightened. Now it is no longer socialization but firm action," Prasetio told reporters, Thursday, September 10.

Prasetio asked Anies and the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government who oversee the implementation of the health protocol to directly sanction individuals and those who carry out business and social activities who violate PSBB rules.

"We are calling on the COVID-19 issue to strict citizens. Likewise to residents, shops, offices, businessmen who violate it, the strictest sanctions," he continued.

Separately, Jakarta DPRD PKS Faction Secretary Achmad Yani also considered Anies' step to dance the "emergency brake" lever was right after the number of positive cases of Covid-19 in Jakarta had increased significantly.

Because, Yani considered the implementation of the transitional PSBB period, ineffective. When the transitional PSBB took effect, economic conditions did improve. Unfortunately, this was also followed by an increase in positive cases of COVID-19.

"There are still many people and business actors who are not disciplined in implementing health protocols. Now the impact is even worse, so there must be real steps," explained the PKS politician.

Furthermore, Yani also appealed to all parties to obey the PSBB policy in total in order to cut the spread of Covid-19 in Jakarta, "Let's seriously break the chain of spreading this epidemic," he said.

As is known, currently the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is preparing regulations for the preparation of the PSBB such as at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic which will take effect from Sein, September 14.

DKI will coordinate with the central government and the buffer area governments to harmonize the restriction policy.

When the PSBB is back in effect, all business and office activities, outside the 11 essential business sectors, are required to return to work from home or work from home (WFH).

All places to eat such as restaurants and cafes are still allowed to operate, but visitors are no longer allowed to eat on the spot. All entertainment venues, public activities and community activities that are mass gathering and crowd-gathering are also prohibited.

"Gatherings such as reunions, outgoing meetings and others that bring together people from various places should be postponed. Remember, the transmission of COVID-19 in events like this has a very large potential," said Anies.

Anies will also again strictly limit the number of public transport passengers. Then, the odd-even will also be temporarily eliminated. However, that does not mean that people can freely travel by private vehicle.

"Currently, the emergency condition is more emergency than the beginning of the previous outbreak, so don't leave the house if you don't have to. Stay at home and don't leave the house from Jakarta if there is no urgent need," said Anies.
