JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan claimed that the spread of COVID-19 in the capital city was under control. The reason is that the percentage of positive rates is far below the standards of the world health organization or WHO.

"Right now, Jakarta's condition is really under control, why? Because it is said to be under control if the positivity level is below 5 percent," said Anies in the Sawah Besar area, Sunday, September 26.

Based on the data, Jakarta's positivity rate is at 0.7 percent. Then, the testing pattern is already far above the standard.

This is because the WHO standard at least conducts testing once compared to 1,000 residents. But for Jakarta, it can be doubled.

"Our WHO standard testing number is 11 times higher than the WHO standard, so the testing is increased 11 times but the results are still very low," said Anies. Only 1 person tested positive because it was 0.7 percent," Anies continued.

"Initially, the positivity was 48 percent, in mid-July 100 people were tested, 48 people were positive, today 100 people were tested, only 1 person was positive because it was 0.7 percent," Anies continued.

On this basis, Anies stated that the pattern of transmission of COVID-19 could be resolved. Moreover, monitoring of the implementation of health protocols is still being carried out to the vaccination program carried out by the provincial government (provincial government) to the TNI-Polri.

"So what is this extraordinary drop because of what? Collaboration, because of working together," said Anies.
