JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan held a coordination meeting with the ranks of ASN and BUMD DKI to prepare for the implementation of emergency PPKM which will start tomorrow. Meetings are held virtually.

In the meeting, Anies gave a description of DKI Jakarta currently in a precarious state. To his subordinates, Anies likened the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government to the crew of the plane's cockpit and the public to the passengers.

"We, who are in this (meeting) room, are the people who are in the cockpit who are in the cockpit of the plane. We must direct all passengers on the plane because the passengers do not know the complete condition, we know this complete condition. in the cockpit," said Anies in a meeting broadcast on the DKI Provincial Government Youtube, Friday, July 2.

Still in the picture on the plane, Anies asked all ranks to fasten their seat belts because they will enter the turbulence or shock area. That is, the condition of COVID-19 in Jakarta is in a precarious state.

"We have to tell everyone. We will enter a turbulent area. Everyone, fasten your seat belts. If a flight enters a turbulent area, Jakarta is now entering a period of turbulence, facing a storm and we must inform all our citizens to be prepared," explained Anies. .

Anies explained that currently there are 78,631 active cases in Jakarta. Today, the Jakarta City Parks and Forest Service buried more than 300 bodies of COVID-19. "This is the highest number in the history of the pandemic in Jakarta," said Anies.

Currently, the occupancy of the isolation bed is 92 percent. Meanwhile, ICU occupancy reached 94 percent. In fact, since a month ago, DKI increased its capacity from 6,500 beds to 11,134 beds.

"If that day dki did not increase the number of beds, by that time dki had collapsed, residents could not find a place. Even now many residents have no place, waiting in line at the ICU," he said.

Therefore, Anies asked all ranks to carry out three priorities for handling COVID-19 during emergency PPKM. These include rescuing residents who have been exposed to COVID-19, protecting people who have not been exposed to them from being exposed, and helping those who have difficulty meeting their basic daily needs.

"Take these three priorities very seriously. Don't wait for reports. Actively look for what can be secured. Go to the head of the RT-RT, tell him, I'm from DKI, I'm ready to help. Sita will enter the emergency PPKM, get ready to carry out any task needed," he concluded.
