At the same place, Jakarta Investment and PTSP Agency Head also serves as Jakarta Licensing Review Team Chairman Benny Aguschandra explained that Secretary Decree number 11/2020 on Licensing Review Team for increasing awareness of the risk of COVID-19 spread had been issued. In its licensing process, he also involved the Health Agency and Polda Metro Jaya.

"That means all permit applications that have already been entered or will be implemented and whose licenses have been issued, as well as those that have just entered, will be reviewed to assess the risks. Risk assessment is primarily seen from the density ratio, what the crowd is like, the number of participants, what kind of activities, venue and event layout, event settings, the origin of the committee, performers and visitors," he explained.

Based on the review for 7 days, recommendations will be issued on whether the implementation of these activities will be postponed, continued with high risk or continued with low risk. His party would also speed up the license recommendation process, thus licensing issues can be resolved in less than 7 days.
