JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has again extended the implementation of the Micro-Scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) until June 28, 2021.

The policy was issued based on Governor Decree (Kepgub) Anies Baswedan, 759/2021 and Ingub 39/2021 regarding Micro-scale PPKM.

In response, Gerindra Party politician Fadli Zon considered that decisive steps were needed from simply extending the implementation of the Micro-scale PPKM in order to deal with the surge in COVID-19 in DKI Jakarta. One of them is the implementation of a curfew.

"There should be a curfew for Jakarta", said Fadli Zon via his Twitter account, Tuesday, June 15.

According to the chairman of the House of Representatives Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Agency (DPR BKSAP), the policy of limiting the curfew has proven effective in reducing the transmission of COVID-19 in other countries.

"In many countries, this curfew policy helps overcome the spread/contagion of COVID-19. There is a curfew (maximum) at 23, some at 21, and some at 19.00 p.m.", he said.

Later, according to Fadli, this policy can be adjusted to conditions on the ground. If the situation is under control, he said, the curfew restrictions can be stopped.

"Depending on the situation and needs, it may take 1-2 weeks or more", said Fadli Zon.
