The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta has evaluated the period of the third Large-Scale Social Restriction (PSBB) imposed in the Capital City. The Governor of DKI Jakarta Province, Anies Baswedan, explained that based on scientific studies from the team of Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia, the estimated effective reproduction number (Rt) of COVID-19 in the DKI Jakarta area until June 4, 2020 was 0.99.

"In March, our number is 4. We started to apply restrictions, school closure, cancellation of Car Free Day, appeal for from work from home, so the numbers can go down drastically in March - April. This is a joint work of the whole community," said Governor Anies in a press conference at the City Hall, Thursday (4/6).

Furthermore, Governor Anies explained that there are three indicators for easing social restrictions, namely:
•    Epidemiology: The trend of fluctuating Patient Under Surveillance (PDP) in Jakarta tends to increase, the trend of positive case fluctuations tends to decrease, and the Mortality Trend always decreases. Score: 75
•    Public Health: The fluctuating trend in the number of PCR tests in Jakarta tends to increase, the proportion of people work/study from home in urban areas is 50 - 70%. Score: 70
•    Health Facilities: The number of ventilators and the number of PPE in Jakarta is increasing and meeting the needs. Score: 100

The total score of the three indicators in DKI Jakarta is 76. Thus, social restrictions can begin to be gradually eased by staying alert to case surges.

"If we look at the daily positive cases and the number of daily deaths as of June 3, 2020, Jakarta's graphs are relatively down compared to the national and outside Jakarta's charts. For every policy that is implemented with discipline by the community, the effect will be seen 2-3 weeks later, the Jakarta's curves is flattening. This is a disciplined colossal work in maintaining health protocols," he explained.

In addition, from the Kelurahan mapping according to the COVID-19 Incident Rate (IR) per 100,000 population, in the period of 15-30 May 2020, most of Jakarta region has also been green (IR rate 0) and yellow (IR rate 0.1 - 24.63).

"It means we can change that. We have succeeded in changing places that were previously red zones, to green zones. But we still have some homeworks to change some other places to be green," added Governor Anies.

However, given the potential transmission can still occur, especially since there are still 66 RWs that are prone to transmission of COVID-19, the DKI Jakarta COVID-19 Mitigation Acceleration Task Force has decided to extend PSBB and June will be the transitional period."

All sanctions against PSBB violations will continue to apply. Violations of the obligation to wear masks will also be processed. Now we are entering the transition phase, we should not go back to the time before this. Stay disciplined in implementing health protocols," Governor Anies stressed. In the transition to a safe, healthy and productive society, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta conducts a period of education and habituation of a healthy and safe lifestyle according to the COVID-19 protocol. Furthermore, the transition period from the restriction period to the expansion of productive socio-economic activities.

The transition period is designed in two phases: Phase I and Phase II. Each phase is valid for one month, and can be extended according to the results of monitoring of COVID-19 outbreak control conditions.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will also implement an Emergency Brake policy in this transitional period. "It means, if there is an alarming level of transmission, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government can stop all activities and re-implement tightening," Governor Anies said.
