BOGOR - The Bogor City Government, West Java, has set a work from home (WFH) schedule for state civil servants (ASN) for the next week in accordance with the permit granted by the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan-RB).

Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto said the WFH opportunity would be used to observe the potential increase in data on positive COVID-19 cases.

"ASN is also regulated by the secretariat, for now and in the future. It doesn't matter, everything can be arranged, although the trend (positive cases of COVID-19) is getting sloping, because yesterday there were zero cases," Bima said after the Eid al-Fitr 1443 Hijri halal bihalal in the Balai yard Bogor City, Antara, Monday, 9 May.

Bima said that in the next week, it is still a crucial time to detect the spread of COVID-19 after the 2022 Eid holiday.

Bima Arya predicts that there will be an increase in data on positive COVID-19 patients recorded in the information system of the Bogor City Health Service. However, he is optimistic that the spread of COVID-19 in his area will be well controlled.

"We will closely observe the data for the next week. It looks like it will improve on paper, yes. However, it should be under control after this," said Bima.

Previously, the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB) Tjahjo Kumolo approved the proposal from the National Police Chief Gen. Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo to implement a work from home or WFH system for ASN to unravel the backflow congestion for Eid 2022.

Tjanjo asked all Personnel Guidance Officers (PPK) to arrange a schedule for working from home in their respective agencies.

The application of working from home will not interfere with services, administrative matters and government services, because currently we have implemented an Electronic-Based Government System, so that ASN can work without being limited by space and flexibly through the use of information and communication technology.

For a week after the 2022 Eid al-Fitr leave, said the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, it can be applied as an effort to self-isolate (isoman) for ASN after meeting with family from their hometown.
