"The office does not have to be closed. But the disinfectant has been sprayed and health protocols are increasingly tightened, keeping a distance and washing hands," he explained.
Jokowi went to Central Java
President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that locally based intervention strategies were most effective in controlling the spread of Covid-19.
This was conveyed by the President when reviewing Covid-19 Handling and Handling Command Post in Central Java (Central Java), Tuesday, (6/30/2020).
"Quarantine, isolate the RT, isolate the RW to isolate the village or village more effectively than we quarantine the city or district. This is more effective," the President said.
Therefore, the President hopes that all regions will use this strategy in tackling Covid-19 so that the level of spread of the virus can decrease.
"So this strategy is for us to use together, so we hope that there will be a decrease (reproduction of the virus) RT and R0," he said.
The President hopes that in July all elements, the central government, the regional government and the Task Force will work hard to deal with Covid-19.
So that the spread of the virus was first discovered in Wuhan, China is decreasing in all areas including in Central Java.
"And God willing, our economy can crawl to a normal growth again," he concluded.
New Normal
President Jokowi also reminded regional heads and regional task forces that in opening up new arrangements or adapting new habits, they must be based on scientific data and expert advice.
This was conveyed by the President when visiting the Central Java Covid-19 Handling and Handling Command Post (Central Java) at the Gradhika Bhakti Praja Building, Central Java, Tuesday, (6/30/2020).
"I entrust not to open up to a new normal new order but do not go through the right stages. Every time we make a policy, we make a real policy, please help with the name data science," said the President.
The President also reminded that not to be forced to open a new or new normal order.
If that is not feasible and scientifically feasible and expert advice, then new normal should not apply.
"Let us not venture into the new normal but the data is still not possible, do not force it to the stages, it must be carefully prepared," he said.
These stages include the precondition phase, from socialization to simulation.
After the preconditions then the next is the determination or timing of the new normal.
"The timing must be right. Don't let Rt be still high above 1, R0 is still high, we dare to open it, be careful not to make policies without a clear data science," he said.
After timing, the next step is determining the priority of the new normal implementation sector.
Is the industrial sector first, the tourism sector, or other possible sectors.
"But it may also still be limited if the capacity is usually 1000, yes 500 first. There is no need to rush because we are dealing with two things, health and economy, all of which have to go well," he said.
After everything is passed, according to the President there must be an evaluation conducted every week or fortnight.
If the new normal application makes a positive case jump, then it must be revoked.
"If the situation is indeed up, then close again, you have to be brave like that, you have to be brave to decide like that," he concluded. (Erfin / TRB)
