DPD Asks Local Government To Rt / RW Actively Report Covid-19 Symptomatic Citizens After Eid Al-Fitr Holiday

JAKARTA - COVID-19 clusters in residential areas began to emerge in a number of areas of the capital after the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

As happened in the area of RT 03 RW 03, Cilangkap Village, Cipayung District, East Jakarta. The region was also forced to implement a mini lockdown.

Vice Chairman of DPD RI Sultan B Najamudin asked the local government to the lowest level, namely RT / RW to be able to participate." Cutting the COVID-19 distribution chain must start at the family level. So in addition to the activeness of the government in the RT / RW environment, it is also necessary to be supported by public participation itself," sultan said in his statement, Wednesday, May 26.

"If there are people who feel symptoms or make contact with positive patients then they should report themselves to the local health authorities," he urged. According to him, there are several things that must be improved in efforts to control the spread of COVID-19. One of them, pursuing vaccination to the elderly and as many test-track-isolation measures as possible in vulnerable areas or those with highly infected patients.

According to data from the task force handling COVID-19, as of Monday, May 24, there have been 5,907 new cases found with a total of 1.78 million cases with 1.64 million recovered and 49.455 thousand deaths." From the data, the average number of weekly additions is still high at 5,297 cases. And I'm sure not everyone who's infected has been inputted data. So the government must immediately trace new clusters that have the potential to increase the spread in the community", said Sultan. Senator Bengkulu also suggested that COVID-19 posts should start to conduct control scenarios according to the zoning status of each RT level. If RT is a red zone or has more than five houses, then micro lockdown should be applied. In addition, said Sultan, efforts made during the micro lockdown are closely monitoring residents who conduct self-isolation, find suspek, track close contacts and close public places that invite crowds except those that belong to the essential sector. Then, prohibit the association of more than three people and eliminate social activities and set rules in and out of the territory with the establishment of a curfew." So the whole community today should not be caught off guard. What we fear after Eid is a case arising from importation from outside the region. So whatever activities are carried out must still comply with health protocols", concluded sultan.For information, there has been the emergence of COVID-19 clusters in a number of areas. Among them are new clusters of COVID-19 in Klaten, Cianjur, Pati, Bogor and Cilacap.In addition, a new cluster of COVID-19 halal bihalal emerged in Jakarta, tarawih clusters in Banyumas, Pati, Malang and Banyuwangi.
