Deputy Governor Riza Allows Bodebek Residents To Use Controlled Isolation Facilities In Jakarta

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, said that his party allowed residents of the Jakarta buffer zone to use controlled isolation facilities in the capital city.

Riza said this facility is allowed for residents of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Bodetabek) if the isolation places in their area are full or not available.

"Actually, this is for humanity, yes. We never differentiate. If their respective areas are not available or full, of course, we will certainly help (provide controlled isolation areas)", said Riza at DKI City Hall, Tuesday, February 15.

Riza revealed that the DKI Provincial Government is currently preparing 6 controlled isolation locations for COVID-19 patients in the midst of an increase in COVID-19 cases due to the spread of the Omicron variant.

This centralized isolation location is only intended for COVID-19 patients with asymptomatic (OTG) categories, mild symptoms, and no comorbidities. Meanwhile, patients with moderate, severe, and critical symptoms are hospitalized.

Of these 6 locations, 921 controlled isolation beds were provided, with details of 77 beds at CIS Mansion, then 194 beds at Graha Wisata Ragunan.

Then, there are 100 isolation beds at Graha Wisata Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, 150 beds at LPMP, 100 beds at the Hasyim Ashari Grand Mosque, and 100 beds at Wisma Adhyaksa Puri Loka.

As of February 15, only used beds were at Graha Wisata TMII with 25 percent occupancy, Hashim Asyari Grand Mosque 5 percent, and Wisma Adhyaksa Puri Loka 6 percent.

"Of the six locations of controlled isolation facilities, the number of beds provided is 921, only 47 are used. So there are still many left", said Riza.
