International Web Seminar of Getting to the New Normal
Balaikota-Jakarta, 24 Agustus 2020

3. On behalf of the Governor of Jakarta, I would like to extend his apology for the
absence due to prior engagement.
We are delighted to join this forum with all of you. Allow me to convey our
sincere thank you and appreciation to Wellington City Council, Local
Government New Zealand (LGNZ), and United Cities and Local Governments
Asia Pacific (UCLG ASPAC) in hosting this International Web Seminar with the
main aim at Getting to the New Normal: The Role of Local Government in
Building Sustainable Communities in a Post COVID-19 World.
First of all I would like to start my presentation by conveying the statement of
the Governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, Ph.D: "Our focus is on the people, if
we save humans, one day the economy can be repaired, but if the people are
not safe, how can we improve the economy?"
The first two positive cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia were announced by the
President of the Republic of Indonesia on March 2, 2020, the mother and child
of a dance trainer from Depok, who were confirmed to have been infected by
a participant in a Japanese national dance event domiciled in Malaysia, which
later became the beginning of Jakarta's struggle. The "war" against COVID-19.
Jakarta Province with a population of more than eleven million people (July
2020), consists of five administrative city areas and one administrative district.
As of July 31, 2020, 21,201 COVID-19 patients were reported in Jakarta, of
which 13,208 (62.3%) had been declared cured and 836 (3.9%) other COVID-
19 patients were declared dead. The spread of COVID-19 until this period has
been found in all districts in Jakarta, recorded in the period 16-30 July 2020,
the highest Incident Rate (IR) speed was in Johar Baru, South Seribu Islands
and Kemayoran sub-districts.
In order to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19, the Provincial
Government of Jakarta implements an integrated "end to end process"
strategy which includes the processes of Planning, Testing, Tracing & Tracking,
Treating, and Monitoring & Evaluation. This activity is carried out in the form
of collaboration with various parties including the Central Government, cross-
sector in Jakarta Province (OPD), Professional Organizations, Educational
Institutions/Academics, Community/ Religious Leaders and the private sector.
Planning
The strategic steps taken from the start were to carry out internal
consolidation of the Jakarta Provincial Government which began with a
meeting of the governor's regarding the mitigation of the novel coronavirus
and marked by the formation of the Task Force for the Acceleration of
Handling COVID-19 on March 16, 2020.
In order to collect COVID-19 data, both from health facilities and public
reports, the Provincial Government of Jakarta has directly provided the COVID-
19 extraordinary event (KLB) Command Post which is integrated with the
COVID-19 Command Center. High public interest in accessing the KLB Post was
accompanied by the use of the latest information technology. Apart from
providing phone hunting services at 112 and WhatsApp number
081112112112 with 24-hour standby officers, Jakarta has also utilized an
artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbot service to answer community
questions via the WhatsApp message channel.
In preparing for the availability of beds for COVID-19 patients, the Jakarta
Provincial Government continues to develop the capacity of COVID-19 services
by building a network of Public and Private Hospitals, so that at the beginning
of the handling of COVID-19 there are 8 referral hospitals with a capacity of
904 beds increasing to 67 hospitals with a capacity of 4,556 beds.
The increase in hospital capacity must of course be balanced with the addition
of health personnel. For this reason, the Jakarta Provincial Government
recruits health workers to strengthen existing health services. A total of 306

4. workers and volunteers who handle COVID-19 in several hotels owned by
BUMD and BUMN in Jakarta, the aim is other than to provide convenience for
health workers in on duty, also to reduce the risk of transmission from health
workers after work to their respective places of residence.
Apart from residential accommodation, Jakarta Provincial Government is
working with the transportation sector, namely PT. Trans Jakarta, UP Angkutan
Sekolah and DAMRI to provide transportation services for health workers
handling COVID-19.
Various trainings related to handling COVID-19 have also been carried out
since the beginning of the spread of COVID-19 until now. Technical training
such as swab-taking techniques, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
including training on corpse screening involving police officers, funeral officers
and health workers.
Testing
The capacity of the corona virus test in Indonesia continues to be under the
spotlight of the World Health Organization (WHO). The world health agency
implements the standard number of PCR tests of 1 person per thousand
population per week. This means that Jakarta must carry out PCR
examinations on 10,645 people (not specimens) every week or 1,521 people
per day. Currently, according to WHO, only Jakarta Province has met the
standards set by WHO, even every week the number of PCR checks performed
by Jakarta has reached more or less four times the WHO standard.
In addition, WHO also sets the standard for the percentage of positive cases of
no more than 5%. The percentage of positive cases is the number of people
who are found to be positive compared to the number of people who have
tested for PCR. However, this percentage of positive cases is only considered
valid if the minimum number of tests performed has been met. Jakarta's
positivity rate is recorded at 4.9% (as of 3 August 2020), still below the
standard set by WHO.
Currently, Jakarta has 54 COVID-19 laboratory networks with an examination
capacity of 11,267 samples per day. The ability to inspect Jakarta can be seen
in the report as of July 31, 2020, as many as 5,344 people were tested for PCR
or 51% of the proportion of people examined by PCR in Indonesia. However,
the high number of COVID-19 checks has resulted in an increase in the
number of COVID-19 cases found and this is often misinterpreted so that the
Jakarta Provincial Government has failed to control the spread of COVID-19. In
fact, the increase in cases was due to the massive PCR examination resulting
from the Active Case Finding (ACF) activity and close contact tracing
conducted by the Puskesmas. The goal is to find positive cases as soon as
possible so that they can be treated immediately and break the chain of
transmission; a concept that is very good and effective but politically
unpopular so that not many other provinces dare to follow the steps of the
Jakarta Provincial Government.
Tracing & Tracking
Tracing and tracking of COVID-19 patients are carried out not only based on
reports of COVID-19 patients and the public through various complaint
channels owned by the Jakarta Provincial Government, including the JAKI
Application (Jakarta now), 14 Quick Community Response (CRM) complaint
channels, or the COVID-19 Response Post, but also is actively implemented
through close contact tracing and Active Case Finding. This policy is stated in
the Circular of the Head of the Health Office on Active Case Finding.
After the Puskesmas officer finds a COVID-19 case in their area, the next step
is that the patient will be referred to the Hospital or Athlete Village to get the
treatment needed or can also be advised to carry out independent isolation in

5. his place of residence.
Treating
In general, the management of COVID-19 patients in Jakarta refers to the
guidelines issued by related professional organizations and colleges.
Meanwhile, community health treatment refers to the guidelines for handling
COVID-19 issued by the Ministry of Health and Standard Operational
Procedures prepared by the Health Service Office.
Treatment with COVID-19 fixed procedures (protap) is not only given to
COVID-19 patients, but also to the bodies of COVID-19 patients. The handling
of the COVID-19 body is very well integrated because the Jakarta Provincial
Government has a clear SOP in handling the COVID-19 body. The Jakarta
Provincial Government has also appointed a Public Cemetery (TPU) designated
for COVID-19 bodies, a policy that has proven effective in avoiding the
possibility of local residents' rejection of COVID-19 bodies as has happened in
other provinces.
Management of Medical Waste Management in Health Service Facilities
owned by the Jakarta Regional Government has also received great attention
from the Jakarta Provincial Government in the context of Prevention and
Control of COVID-19 which is carried out regularly.
Other strategic steps were also taken by the Jakarta Provincial Government
outside the health aspect, both aimed at external and internal parties,
including the stipulation of activity restrictions and the closure of facilities that
can invite crowds since March 5, 2020, restrictions on services in the field of
licensing that involves face-to-face, as well as the formation of a licensing
review team and public activities that will be carried out in the Capital City. In
the field of foreign cooperation, there is a postponement of work visit
activities and official trips abroad in order to anticipate the risk of
transmission of COVID-19.
The same thing is seen in the field of education with the transfer of teaching
and learning activities to online learning at home and the temporary closure
of public places such as the Public Library Building, markets, places of worship,
city parks, and tourist attractions. Campaigns for studying, working and
worshiping at home are continuously socialized.
Modifications in the transportation sector were also carried out by lifting the
odd-even policy and limiting the time and number of passengers in the mode
of transportation.
The Jakarta Provincial Government also pays attention to Jakarta residents
who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing basic necessities in
the form of basic necessities, providing independent isolation places,
providing free masks and providing masks at affordable prices at Pasar Jaya.
All aspects of both health and non-health receive equal attention from the
Jakarta Provincial Government to ensure the health and welfare of the people
of Jakarta.
Reporting
To support the process of recording and reporting COVID-19 data, the Jakarta
Provincial Government is the first province to build a COVID-19 Recording and
Reporting System in Indonesia. This system facilitates all health facilities in
Jakarta to report COVID-19 cases quickly and accurately. The recording and
reporting system developed by the Health Office is based on Epidemiological
Investigation reporting in order to provide important information from both
clinical and public health aspects. This recording system can be accessed at
https://reporting-covid19.jakarta.go.id/.
As a form of data and information transparency, the Jakarta Provincial

6. Government has created a website that displays the latest information about
COVID-19 and its handling in the Jakarta area. This website, which can be
accessed via corona.jakarta.go.id, is open to the public. There is a lot of
information here, from information about the disease to data on case
progress, disease trends, case spread, and others.
This official page is very useful in disseminating information not only to the
people of Jakarta, but also to people outside Jakarta, including the world
community, because it is proven that this page is accessed by many general
public, news agencies, academics, and others abroad.
Health Promotion and Risk Communication
One form of handling COVID-19 carried out by the Jakarta Provincial Health
Office is a promotional effort by making various health promotion media
related to COVID-19. This effort aims to increase public awareness of the
dangers of COVID-19 and provide accurate information about preventive
actions that people can take to avoid COVID-19. The products produced by the
Health Service Office include posters, banners, infographics, and videos.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The Health Office periodically conducts assessments of the current situation
to be able to produce data-based recommendations for policy making. All
activities that have been planned will be reviewed whether they are effective,
efficient, and have a positive impact on the community.
The Jakarta Provincial Health Office monitors the target areas in each region
down to the sub-district, village, citizens association (RW) and neighborhood
association (RT) levels. Among them are monitoring pregnant women,
toddlers, and children who are positive for COVID-19 in Jakarta, monitoring
health facilities, coaching isolation houses, auditing the readiness of health
facilities, and monitoring the availability of personal protective equipment
(APD).
Cross Sector Collaboration
In order to increase awareness of the risk of transmission of COVID-19
infection in the Jakarta Province, Jakarta Provincial Government involves the
role of all sectors within the Jakarta Provincial Government in handling COVID-
19 as collaborators to support and carry out socialization and risk control
activities in accordance with Governor Instruction Number 16/2020
concerning Increased Alertness to the Risk of Transmission of COVID-19
Infection.
Lesson Learnt
If you look at the national task force, the smallest data is at the city level,
which is different from Jakarta, which has data down to the village level that
can be accessed quickly. Thus, the Jakarta Provincial Government uses the
incidence rate (IR) at the city, sub-district and village levels to be a part that
must be evaluated, including the speed of the IR rate. This is important to do
because the total large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) cannot be enforced
continuously, so that the Jakarta Provincial Government must have some kind
of emergency drill that is smaller in nature, so that a kind of lockdown can be
carried out, or tight control in an area.
Now, the Jakarta Provincial Government can report the IR rate once a week
and once every two weeks. The basis for the rate of IR is issued to the village
level, then the city-level task force team together with the sub-district health
center and the kelurahan and RW level task force teams select the RW that is

7. most at high risk, which is determined in a meeting decision at their level.
Then came the RW which had to be closely monitored to avoid negligence.
The Jakarta Provincial Government continues to say that the implemented
PSBB has not yet been completed, but there are several transition periods that
need more attention than others. On the other hand, Jakarta Provincial
Government also carries out planning by modeling or estimating cases, which
are not carried out by other provinces.
Here, strict supervision remains in place. Of course, that does not mean a total
lockdown or total quarantine at the RW. Now, every Monday the Health Office
together with the provincial level task force team conducts an evaluation
meeting with each setting, presenting the progress of policies made for other
interventions in accordance with existing conditions in the field. Those are
some of the strategies carried out by the Jakarta Provincial Government as an
integrated learning of handling COVID-19. By handling COVID-19 in an
integrated manner, including planning, testing, tracing, treating, reporting,
monitoring, and evaluating, Jakarta continues to carry out various activities in
an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, with the hope of maintaining the
safety of its citizens.
The many obstacles and challenges that come and go and occur every day
make the COVID-19 pandemic look still difficult to predict when it will end.
Jakarta has no choice but to keep trying to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Closing
Finally, thank you for this good opportunity to share Jakarta experiences and
good practices in combating COVID-19 pandemic. This new normal era has
given us more important role to create a stronger and resistance cities in a
Post COVID-19 World. I would like to conclude my speech by expressing my
hope that through this forum, together we can build sustainable communities
and will have a meaningful impact to recover from the global pandemic.
Terima Kasih
