JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan denied that he had ever reviewed and considered the proposed lockdown or lockdown at the weekend. This is different from the statement of Deputy Governor of DKI Ahmad Riza Patria.

"We are not in a position to consider, let alone determine that there will be a lockdown at the weekend in Jakarta. That is not true", Anies said in a broadcast on Youtube by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, Friday, February 5.

Anies said that currently, DKI is implementing restrictions on community activities (PPKM) until February 8. Anies will ensure that the implementation of PPKM in the field runs well and orderly.

He again reminded the public to continue to comply with 3M's health protocol, namely wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands. Also, you don't have to leave the house if you don't have an urgent need.

"On the other hand, the government will continue to work hard to improve 3T, testing capacity and testing activities, tracing capacity and tracing activities, then the capacity of health facilities, treatment, and isolation to ensure that anyone who is exposed can quickly return to health", he explained.

Previously, DKI Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahmad Riza Patria said the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government would consider the option of implementing a lockdown or lockdown on weekends, Saturdays, and Sundays.

This proposal came from Member of Commission IX of the DPR Saleh Partaonan Daulay. He considered that the government's policies to limit community activities through the Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) and Enforcement of Restrictions on Community Activities (PPKM) had not been maximally successful.

"That is a suggestion from friends in the Regional House of Representatives (DPR RI). Of course, DKI Jakarta will conduct studies, analysis. Later, the Governor will also chair internal meetings, whether the proposed lockdown weekend from the DPR RI is possible", said Riza on Tuesday, February 2.
