JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said his party found that there were still many residents queuing to enter the hospital for treatment. This finding is based on an evaluation of the implementation of the Emergency Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) in Jakarta.

Furthermore, Anies acknowledged that the availability of beds for the treatment of COVID-19 patients is still a serious challenge for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

"Indeed, our BOR (bed occupancy rate) is facing challenges. Because many people are waiting in line, they have not been able to enter the hospital," he said at Monas, Gambir, Central Jakarta, Sunday, July 18.

For your information, referring to data from the DKI Jakarta Health Office as of July 11, the BOR level in 140 Jakarta referral hospitals is still quite high. It was noted that the daily isolation BOR was at 92 percent. This means that out of 11,522 total beds, 10,623 units have been occupied by COVID-19 positive patients.

Meanwhile, the ICU occupancy rate has reached 95 percent. The DKI Health Office noted that out of a total of 1,470 ICUs, 1,390 have been filled.

Furthermore, Anies said there were several things that were reviewed from the implementation of Emergency PPKM through the coordination meeting of the Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda). First, the issue of mobility restrictions.

"The second is related to the management of hospitals, health facilities in handling residents who must be treated, then also the management of isolation rooms for those with mild symptoms. Thank God everything went well," he said.

In the meeting, said Anies, his party also discussed the implementation of vaccination in Jakarta. Based on the evaluation of the vaccination program has been running well.

"Alhamdulillah, if we look at Jakarta based on the target, it is earlier and higher than the target, both in terms of quantity and time. So we hope that the vaccination process will continue to run quickly, so it can be completed earlier than scheduled," he said
