SEMARANG - Central Java Governor, Ganjar Pranowo, asked local governments in 35 districts/cities to allocate a budget to help residents and orphans affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I ask all regencies/cities to calculate the impact of COVID-19 on society. For example, how many trade industries have collapsed, how many deaths are there, how many orphans need help today and so on", said Ganjar in Semarang, quoted by Antara, Monday, August 9th.

Data on the number of orphans in Central Java whose parents died due to COVID-19, Ganjar continued, has begun to be counted, even some districts/cities have submitted the results of temporary data collection.

According to him, the data collection is very important so that the handling of the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic can be carried out in 2022, including the MSME sector, tourism players, the economy, the world of education, and others.

"There are already some who have counted and the reports have been received by us, I ask the others immediately", he said.

Furthermore, the data will be analyzed comprehensively so that it is hoped that the data will be entered in the middle of next week so that acceleration can be carried out immediately.

"The goal is one, our development planning in 2022 is expected to lead to targeting these groups. Everything must be prepared and anticipated from now on", said Ganjar.
