JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung revealed that the transmission ofembike disease in Jakarta did not increase quite high like in other areas. However, there are two sub-districts in Jakarta that are currently being paid attention to by the DKI Provincial Government for the spread ofemia.

"Jakarta at this time, there is actually no increase as has happened in other provinces, indeed there are two spots, namely Cilincing and Cengkareng," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, September 12.

Even so, the number ofcampus cases in Jakarta is not much different from the number of cases last year. Thus, Pramono asked the public not to worry about the increase in respiratory infections, which is characterized by a skin rash.

"We are trying to cut the transmission and so on, if we look to this day what we are worried about is that those from outside enter Jakarta, but as of today in Jakarta there is no increase," he said.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Health Office, Ani Ruspitawati, explained that based on data from the DKI Health Office, there were 218 cases of barbarus and 63 cases of rubela from January to early September 2025.

Although there have been no reports of death, Ani revealed that there has been an increase in the trend of Measles cases and needs to be responded quickly so as not to spread. The DKI Health Office has taken countermeasures through the Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) or the response to immunization in epidemic conditions.

"If there is a case ofcampus, we must do a response. So we calculate that there are several children who must be immunized so that the case does not spread," said Ani.

The ORI program is focused on Kapuk Village, Cengkareng District, which recorded the highest increase in cases. In this area, the immunization target includes around 9,000 children with a temporary achievement of 77.22 percent.

According to Ani, this step must continue to be intensified because barbarism is an infectious disease with a very fast spread rate.

The virus that causes niche is a morphilivirus that is transmitted through the air, cough splashes, nose secretions, or contaminated items. This is quite easy and contagious, and Measles can become serious if they attack our children," he explained.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health is highlighting the increasing number ofcampus cases in Indonesia related to the decline in complete routine immunization coverage in recent years. An Extraordinary Event (KLB) Miscarpment has re-emerged, one of which is in Sumenep Regency, East Java.
