As for the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in office clusters in the past week had increased. There were 425 confirmed cases of COVID-19 from 177 offices in Jakarta as of April 12-18. While in the previous week, April 5-11, there were 157 cases confirmation from 78 offices. The increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the office cluster was proof that the pandemic had not yet ended. Most of the cases of COVID-19 confirmation in offices occurred in offices that had received the vaccination.

Despite they had received vaccine, it did not mean that a person would be 100% protected from the disease. Vaccination only reduces the possibility of severe symptoms and complications due to coronavirus and could still transmit if someone was infected. Which was why, health protocols were very important to be implemented in the work environment, including offices that had received the vaccination.

Amid PSBB, residents wanting to enter the Jakarta area were urged to carry out independent COVID-19 check-up through the JakCLM via JAKI app. In this app, they could find out the risk of COVID-19 and got various health recommendations according to the risks they have. This contribution would help the government to prevent the diseases in Jakarta.

Together with Satpol PP, the operation for residents who do not wear masks will also be intensified, including other PSBB violations. Hopefully, they can be more disciplined in implementing health protocols and participating in stopping the chain of COVID-19.

Based on the daily reports on April 24 at 6 PM, there had been a total fine of Rp 1,050,000. So, it was hoped that the public could be more disciplined in implementing health protocols and participating in curbing the COVID-19.

As for the information, the community also has the opportunity to donate with others in the large-scale social collaboration (KSBB) program. They can provide aid in the form of staple foods, fast food and cash. For further information, please visit corona.jakarta.go.id/kolaborasi.
