JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan has not yet decided on the extension of the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) period. The DKI Provincial Government will follow the central government's decision.
"Regarding the extension, we are waiting for the central government, because PPKM is indeed a national-scale policy that is implemented in all regions," Anies Baswedan told reporters in Pulogebang, East Jakarta, Saturday, July 17.
Whatever decision the central government makes, the DKI Provincial Government will make the extension of the emergency PPKM period.
"Whatever direction is determined by the central government, we throughout the provincial government will implement it," he said.
Previously, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy said President Joko Widodo had decided to extend the implementation of the emergency community activity restrictions (PPKM) until the end of July.
"Earlier, the limited cabinet meeting that I attended when I was in Sukoharjo (Central Java) had been decided by the President to continue until the end of July this PPKM," said Muhadjir in Yogyakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, July 16.
President Jokowi, said Muhadjir, also conveyed that the decision to extend the emergency PPKM has many risks, including how to balance between disciplining residents to obey health protocols according to PPKM standards with the distribution of social assistance.
