The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta has evaluated the period of the third Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) imposed in the Capital City. The Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, explained based on scientific studies from the Faculty of Public Health Team, University of Indonesia, the estimated effective reproduction number (Rt) COVID-19 in Jakarta until June 4, 2020 was recorded at 0.99.
Furthermore, Anies explained, there are three indicators for easing social restrictions:
- Epidemiology: PDP trend in Jakarta is fluctuating tend to increase, Positive Case Trend is fluctuating tend to decrease, and Death Trend is always decline. Rating: 75
- Public Health: The fluctuating trend in the number of PCR tests in Jakarta tend to increase, the proportion at home in urban areas is 50 to 70%. Rating: 70
- Health facilities: The number of ventilators and the number of PPE in Jakarta is increasing and meeting the needs. Rating: 100
The total score of the three indicators is 76. So that PSBB can be relaxed gradually by staying alert to case surges. "When viewed from the daily positive cases and the number of daily deaths as of June 3, 2020, the Jakarta graph is relatively down, from the national and outside DKI Jakarta charts," Anies explained.
