JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said there were zero funerals with COVID-19 procedures in the last 24 hours.

“A day to be grateful for. In the last 24 hours there have been 0 requests for COVID-19 protocol funeral services in DKI Jakarta (data from the DKI Distamhut from 18.00 yesterday to 18.00 today). Thank God," said Anies Baswedan via the aniesbaswedan Instagram account, Thursday, October 7th.

Zero death, Anies emphasized, is not a celebration because the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet ended.

"This is a reminder that, with the permission of Allah SWT and for the efforts of all of us, a day without the death of COVID-19 is possible to achieve," said Anies.

"But don't stop just yet. Our future endeavor is to try to keep more days like this, days without COVID-19 deaths. We have experienced difficult conditions, even very hard in last July. Let's not go back to that point," he continued.

Anies reminded residents to continue to comply with health protocols even though they have been vaccinated. He also reminded residents to care for each other and invite COVID-19 vaccinations.

"Even though you have been vaccinated, you must still maintain strict health protocols everywhere. At the office, at school, in public places, in the neighborhood around the house," said Anies.
