JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has allowed online-based transportation and online motorcycle taxis (ojol) to continue to carry passengers, during the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) that took effect today. Gojek is also ready to comply with the established rules

"Gojek is always ready to comply with Central and Regional Government Regulations," said Gojek Chief of Corporate Affairs Nila Marita in a statement, Monday, September 14.

Nila said that her party will follow the rules that have been set. They hope that this step will receive the full support of the entire Gojek ecosystem to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"Gojek continues to coordinate with the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta to support the prevention of the spread of Covid-19. Gojek has also readily adapted its operations according to the conditions and needs of the community in facing the pandemic by requiring its entire ecosystem, including driver partners, to always prioritize the Maintain Health, Cleanliness and Security protocol ( J3K), "he explained.

In terms of technology, Gojek has also implemented geofencing arrangements that can ensure services cannot operate in areas designated as tight control areas on a local scale (red zone). This includes requiring passengers to wear masks throughout the trip.

In addition, GoFood food delivery services, GoMed telemedicine and drug delivery services, as well as GoSend, GoMart, GoShop and GoBox delivery services continue to operate to serve the community during the PSBB period. The public can use this service without direct physical contact (contactless delivery).

"Reflecting on the previous PSBB experience, we believe the Gojek ecosystem can live this period well. Gojek is ready to continue to be at the forefront of meeting the daily needs of the people of DKI Jakarta during the PSBB period," explained Nila.
