JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta DPRD regrets that the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) under the leadership of Governor Anies Baswedan is currently more focused on preparing for the implementation of Formula E, rather than mitigating the spread of COVID-19 cases of the Omicron variant which is increasing in Jakarta. Prasetyo Edi Marsudi assessed that the COVID-19 case in Jakarta would greatly affect the electric-powered car racing event. Because, if Anies and his staff cannot suppress the spread of COVID-19 cases, it is certain that the Formula E event is in danger of failing again. For your information, Formula E should have been held on June 6, 2020 in DKI Jakarta. However, due to the increasing spread of COVID-19 cases, the international car racing event failed to take place.

"The government (DKI) must think about how to minimize the spread of this Omicron. Don't keep thinking about Formula E," said Prasetyo in Jakarta, Saturday, January 29.

Prasetyo also warned the DKI Provincial Government to tackle the spread of the Omicron case. This is important to prevent the spread of the virus so that it doesn't go crazy. "It's going up (the Omicron case). We have to be vigilant," he said. Overseas Travel (PPLN) reached 1,309 cases or 54.5 percent and local transmission cases (non-PPLN) reached 1,095 cases or 45.5 percent. This data is much different from Tuesday, January 25, whose composition was still dominated by PPLN reaching 1,166 cases or 68.7 percent and local transmission 531 cases or 31.3 percent. Meanwhile, daily positive cases of COVID-19 as of Thursday, January 27 reached 229 from PPLN or 5.5 percent and as many as 3,920 cases by non PPLN. DKI recorded positive active cases both Those treated and isolated reached 1,540 cases from PPLN or 9.1 percent and 15,451 cases from non PPLN or 90.9 percent.
