In the other hand, he really appreciates companies and offices that have been cooperative in reporting positive COVID-19 cases within their employees tot eh Jakarta National Labor and Energy Agency.

He gives the highest appreciation to companies that are honest, and willing to open their doors for inspections, and willing to be closed temporarily.

He also reminds all companies and offices in Jakarta to report if there is positive COVID-19 case in work place, thus further prevention can be carried out sooner.
