"There is a surge in request for SIKM on Wednesday (5/27) and Thursday (5/28) that reaches 17,998 proposals," he informed, Saturday (5/30).

According to him, many applicants work as household assistants (ART) who want to return to work in Jakarta because they went to their hometown (Mudik) on the previous PSBB period.

"Some of the applicants are newcomers who want to find a work in 11 sectors which allowed to operate during PSBB. Certainly, we reject those proposals because it is not in accordance with applicable regulations," he explained.

Regarding to this case, his side reminds residents to carefully read and learn about SIKM licensing on the site https://corona.jakarta.go.id/id/izin-keluar-masuk-jakarta and social media @layananjakarta before applying for SIKM.

"This way, all side can help us in processing SIKM faster," he said.
