Jakarta – The Large-Scale Social Distancing (PSBB) measure, re-imposed by the Jakarta Government following a spike in the variety of COVID-19 cases in the capital city, has managed to help reduce the number of cases.
” Basing the active case chart is not the last goal. We still have to work together to break the chain of transmission,” Jakarta Guv Anies Baswedan said here on Saturday.
Data from the Jakarta Provincial Federal government revealed that considering that the PSBB application from Sept 12 to 23 (12 days), there were 13,277 active cases, or a boost of 1,453(12 percent) from 11,824 active cases on Sept 11.
Prior to the implementation of the PSBB step, Jakarta recorded 7,960 active cases on August 30, and 12 days later on, on Sept 11, it jumped to 11,824, or up by 3,864(49 percent).
Regardless of the slowing down on active cases, the Jakarta authorities stayed watchful since it could increase once again.
Anies Baswedan chose to extend the PSBB up until Oct 11, 2020, by implementing health procedures focusing on 3M (wearing masks, preserving range and washing hands).
The tally of validated COVID-19 cases in Jakarta on Aug 30, reached 39,280, and the tally leapt by 13,041 cases (33 percent) to 52,321 cases on September 11, or within 12 days.
