JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Health Office recorded that 437 people were contact tracing because they had close contact with DKI Governor Anies Baswedan and Deputy Governor of DKI Ahmad Riza Patria.

"As of last Tuesday, the DKI Jakarta Health Office recorded that 158 people had been swabbed from the Governor's close contact and 279 from the Deputy Governor's close contact," Head of DKI Jakarta Health Office Widyastuti said in his statement, Wednesday, December 2.

According to Widyastuti, a close contact according to the definition of the Ministry of Health is a person who has a history of contact with a probable or positive confirmed case.

Therefore, this contact tracing does not reveal who contracted from Anies and Riza, but who was infected with the two DKI leaders.

"Data on positive confirmed cases of contact tracing results does not determine the contagion from the Governor or Deputy Governor, but determines the cluster of cases that occur simultaneously during the COVID-19 incubation period," said Widyastuti.

He said that of Anies's 158 close contacts who had a swab test on Tuesday, December 1, the results were 5 positive, 111 others were negative, and 42 people were still waiting for the results.

Meanwhile, of the 279 close contacts of Riza during the tracing period November 28 to December 1, the results were 19 positive, 185 negative, and 75 other people are still waiting for the results.

"We confirm that those who were confirmed positive from the results of the contact tracing did not determine the source of transmission was the Governor or the Deputy Governor," he said.

At present, he said, there were no positive cases found among those who had direct interactions with the Governor, both from their families and work teams after the Governor was confirmed positive.

Some cases found that the transmission period was before interacting with the Governor and was part of their respective family clusters.

"So, we recorded that there were separate clusters found because massive tests were carried out in the working environment of the Governor and Deputy Governor," said Widyastuti.
