JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the COVID-19 Task Force, Prof. Wiku Adisasmito, said that DKI Jakarta was the province on the island of Java-Bali that managed to significantly reduce the number of deaths due to COVID-19 on Wednesday, July 21.
"DKI Jakarta as of yesterday showed a significant decline, from 268 to 95 deaths in a day," said Wiku Adisasmito when delivering a statement to reporters who were monitored via the Zoom application in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, July 22.
However, Wiku regrets that the level of compliance with social distancing in 30 percent of DKI Jakarta's urban areas is still relatively low.
"In DKI Jakarta, Central Java and Banten, more than 30 percent of the villages or sub-districts do not comply with social distancing," he said.
Wiku said the death rate in Java-Bali still tends to increase over the past week, so it should be used as a reflection for performance improvements. "Moreover, for six days in a row, the death toll has reached more than 1,000 people every day," he said. Wiku said that the risk zoning at the district/city level is currently the highest during the pandemic, which is 180 districts/cities. This zoning is dominated by regencies/cities from the province of East Java as many as 33 regencies/cities, Central Java 29 regencies/cities, and West Java 21 regencies/cities.
Wiku added that the relatively improved developments, such as positive cases, active cases, and daily BOR showing a decline, as well as increasing recoveries must be maintained.
That way, said Wiku, the risk zoning of the region which is currently in the red zone can immediately improve and move to the orange zone and yellow zone.
