JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has loosened its emergency brake policy in the Capital City and will again impose transitional Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) on October 12. During this transition period, there are new policies that all parties must comply with.

DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said the new policy implemented was the data collection of visitors and employees in the opened sector. Data collection can use a guest book (manual) or technology applications that have collaborated with the government to facilitate epidemiological analysis, especially contact tracing (close contact tracing) of positive cases.

There are 11 essential sectors that are allowed to open during the PSBB transition, namely health, food / food / beverage, energy, communication and information technology, finance, logistics, hospitality, construction, strategic industries, basic services, public utilities and industries which are designated as national vital objects and certain objects, and / or daily needs.

"The information that must be available in the data collection is the name, telephone number and population identification number (NIK)," he said, in a written statement received by VOI , Sunday, October 11.

Shopping centers and malls, as well as restaurants, restaurants, or cafes are one type of business in the essential sector that is permitted. During this Transitional PSBB, they were allowed to dine in at 06.00-21.00 WIB.

The regulations for restaurants or shopping centers are only allowed to serve 50 percent of the visitor capacity. The distance between tables and chairs is min 1.5 meters for tenant or restaurant owners.

Servants are required to wear masks, face shields and gloves. Meanwhile, a restaurant that has a live music / pub TDUP permit can hold live music with visitors sitting on distant chairs, not standing and / or on the floor, and not causing a crowd.

The regulation is based on Governor Regulation No. 101/2020 concerning Amendments to Pergub No. 79/2020 concerning the Implementation of Discipline and Law Enforcement of Health Protocols as Efforts to Prevent and Control COVID-19. This regulation was signed by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan on October 9, 2020.

Furthermore, Anies also requested that each person in charge of activities enforces the COVID-19 prevention protocol. If a cluster is found in a workplace, it is mandatory to close the workplace for 3 x 24 hours for disinfection.

In addition, every business is required to prepare a 'COVID-19 Safety Plan'. Anies said that the specific protocols for each sector are regulated by the provisions of the relevant heads of offices.

"All citizens share responsibility for preventing the transmission of COVID-19. If one place is not disciplined, then one city must feel the consequences. So, we must be really disciplined in implementing 3M's health protocol, and the government will continue to increase 3T," he said.

For your information, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has finally decided to stop the strict PSBB and return to the transitional PSBB period until October 25th. This was done due to a slowdown in the increase in positive cases and active cases, although there was still an increase in transmission.
