JAKARTA - The Regulation of the Governor of DKI which regulates the technical implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) is almost complete. However, there are still unresolved rules, namely the operation of online motorcycle taxis to carry passengers.
So far, Anies said that ojol could still deliver goods and food and drinks when the PSBB was in effect. Regarding ojol carrying passengers, Anies still needs to coordinate with the central government, namely the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Health.
"We are currently coordinating with the central government regarding the issuance of permits for ojegs to operate. We have discussed this. Hopefully, hopefully there will be news tonight," said Anies at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, April 8.
Referring to the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 9 of 2020 concerning PSBB Guidelines for the Acceleration of Handling COVID-19, application-based two-wheeled transportation means only for transporting goods and not for passengers.
However, Anies sees that there are still many DKI residents who need ojol transportation when they still have to go outside their homes. After coordinating with online motorcycle taxi operators, Anies claimed they had a special mechanism to still operate ojol to carry passengers.
"Therefore, we feel that as long as they follow the procedure, ojeg can operate and can transport people and goods. Hopefully, tonight there will be news," said Anies.
For information, the Jakarta PSBB is officially implemented on Friday, April 10. Efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 are valid for 14 days and the application period can be extended.
In general, the implementation of the PSBB is not much different from the policy that Anies has issued gradually since three weeks ago. Among them are calls to work and study from home, stop religious activities in places of worship, and restrict transportation.
In addition, Anies also extended the closing period for tourist attractions, both those belonging to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the private sector. This is intended to maintain social distancing-physical distancing. It's just that, this appeal has been based on law enforcement.
Marriage activities are not prohibited, but must be carried out at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). Meanwhile, reception celebrations are prohibited. Then, circumcision or circumcision activities are also still allowed, but are prohibited from being celebrated.
Restrictions on public transportation such as Transjakarta, MRT, LRT, and Jaklingko have been tightened. The operational hours of transportation managed by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government have been shortened, starting at 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. WIB. Then, the number of passengers in one bus or carriage is also reduced. Its capacity is reduced by 50 percent.
There is an important note delivered by Anies regarding the application of social distancing-physical distancing for DKI residents. When the PSBB is implemented, no crowds of more than five people are allowed in an activity.
There are eight business activities (offices) that are exempted from being stopped. This business sector is still allowed to operate and carry out activities outside the home, namely:
1. Health
2. Food
3. Energy such as water, gas, electricity and fuel
4. Communication and media services
5. Finance and banking, including the capital market
6. Logistics for distribution of goods
7. Daily necessities and retail such as grocery stalls
8. Strategic industrial sector in the Capital City
