JAKARTA - For residents of Tangerang City who are doing self-isolation (Isoman) can be a little calm. They will be given a social assistance package (Bansos) from the city government.

However, there are conditions that must be met for residents. Namely reporting to the local RT / RW doing Isoman because he was positive for COVID-19.

"Report to the RW task force, later the RW will report to the Lurah so that we can distribute aid, so they don't have to go out while doing self-isolation," Tangerang Mayor Arief R Wismansyah said in a statement quoted by Antara, Monday, July 19.

He said the Tangerang City Government had prepared a basic food aid package for people who were self-isolating at home due to exposure to COVID-19.

There are 8,311 packages that have been prepared and come from the Tangerang City Budget to be given to 6,222 residents who are undergoing self-isolation and are spread across 13 sub-districts.

He hopes that the food packages provided are useful for people who are at home undergoing isolation and recover soon and can resume their activities.

"We are trying our best to help residents who are self-isolating by providing food packages for their daily needs," he said.

In addition, the Tangerang City Government has also made public kitchens in a number of areas and by the OPD. This public kitchen makes ready-to-eat food which is also given to residents who are undergoing self-isolation.

"Friends in the OPD also provide food assistance by building a public kitchen, around 7000 food packages per day are distributed to various places," he said.
