JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan claims that his party has never covered up data related to the COVID-19 pandemic conditions in the capital, both case developments, recovery rates, and death rates.

"Jakarta, from the start, has never wanted to cover up. Not adding and subtracting. What is. We also tell you about mortality data," said Anies in a virtual discussion, broadcast on Youtube Katadata Indonesia, Wednesday, March 3.

Anies said, the database used to record pandemic developments was based on the Smart City Framework. This data collection can be seen on the corona.jakarta.go.id website. DKI also has a mobile application, namely Jaki.

"This data is very rich. We can say that maybe this is one of the most complete because we put all the data on all test results, both negative and positive," said Anies.

In addition, Anies also collected data on COVID-19 control at the RT and RW levels. "For example, when I am positive, it is included in this data. Where is Anies Baswedan home, then my RT automatically knows that where I live there is a resident named Anies Baswedan," he continued.

In building this data system, Anies applies the principle of the government as a collaborator and the public as a co-creator. Thus, the government is not the only actor in collecting data.

"The digitization process that we are working on is in order to carry out our desire to build collaboration to face the pandemic," he concluded.

Previously it was reported that Jakarta no longer has districts / cities with a high risk zone for COVID-19 or a red zone.

Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said there are five administrative cities and the Thousand Islands Regency no longer has the status of the red zone. According to Riza, this condition is due to the coordination of handling COVID-19 between DKI and the central government.

"Alhamdulillah, the central COVID-19 Handling Task Force said that Jakarta is no longer included in the red zone group. We are grateful for all of this thanks to good cooperation between the center and the regions, with the buffer areas as well," said Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Wednesday, 3 March.

Currently, the cure rate for COVID-19 in DKI is 96.6 percent, and the death rate is 1.6 percent. Then, the use of isolation beds was 63 percent and the ICU was 69 percent.

"Hotels also continued to decline, 39.8 percent. In fact, hotels continued to fall, which previously had a waiting list. So, thank God, this is all our cooperation," said Riza.
