BOGOR - Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto took a firm stance on stopping face-to-face learning (PTM) at all school levels in his area with an unspecified time limit, due to the spike in COVID-19 cases among students and educators.

"Until an undetermined time, until the spike slows down. All children's vaccines, including the second dose, all teachers and education staff have been vaccinated with boosters," said Bima Arya after a coordination meeting on the COVID-19 spike with Forkopimda at Expression Park, Sempur Village, Central Bogor District, Monday 31 January.

According to Bima, the Bogor City Government will intensify vaccinations for children aged 6-11 years until the second dose is complete as well as booster vaccinations for teachers and educators.

Data from the Bogor City Health Office stated that there were additional cases of positive COVID-19 patients and students, from 36 to 45.

Cases of positive COVID-19 patients in 36 students and teachers occurred in nine schools consisting of five high school level schools, three junior high schools and one school found in elementary schools.

At the high school level, there are one case of Regina Pacis High School, 15 cases of SMAN 6, 10 cases of Bina Insani High School, one case of SMAN 2 and two cases of SMAN 1.

At the junior high school level, at SMPN 6 there were four cases, SMPN 2 had one case and SMPN 3 had one case, and finally SD Julang found one case.

From the results of the data search, there were 45 positive cases from these schools.

Bima conveyed that the overall surge in COVID-19 patients, which had reached 115, surpassed the predictions of the Bogor City COVID-19 Task Force that the spread rate would reach 100 people, only in February 2022.

"We agreed to postpone the PTM at all levels, because the numbers are very high," he said, quoted by Antara.
