JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Task Force (Task Force) Handling COVID-19 Wiku Adisasmito explained the new reasons for the imposition of restrictions on community activities (PPKM) on a micro level.
Wiku said that this policy had only been implemented because previously the government did not yet have comprehensive data regarding this disease.
"Why (the application, red) are we macro? Because we previously did not have micro data because this disease is new and Indonesia is so extensive," Wiku said in an online press conference broadcast on YouTube, Wednesday, February 10.
For this reason, the policies taken by the government at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic were more macro or comprehensive. Moreover, learning from many incidents, when local governments set red zones in districts or cities, it turns out that not all areas have experienced the massive spread of COVID-19 cases.
"But as time goes by, the data becomes clearer, so our handling will get smaller, more and more lost," he said.
So, now the government has decided to limit the mobility of the people in a more micro way. Wiku also assessed that by conducting micro-PPKM, data collection on the spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia, especially in seven provinces, namely DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Java, and Bali will be better.
The better data collection, he continued, is expected to lead to more optimal handling. So, he asked the public to no longer question the large-scale social restriction (PSBB) and PPKM policies because they both regulate community mobility.
"So back again, the goal is to be more specific and quickly solve the problem pockets," he said.
Since Tuesday, February 9 yesterday, the government has implemented Micro PPKM in seven provinces which previously had implemented the policy for four weeks.
This policy is based on the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 3 of 2021 concerning the Enforcement of Restrictions on Micro-Based Community Activities and the Establishment of a Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Management Post at the Village and Sub-District Levels to Control COVID-19.
