"It will be held every day. The number of students can be 100% of each classroom with a maximum length of study of six hours of lessons per day. Health protocols must be a major concern for all school residents," she expressed, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release, Sunday (1/2).

She added, students who had yet to take part in PTM at school due to parental considerations, could provide information to the school and would continue to receive online learning services, and would still have the right to assessment. Hopefully, parents and the community could provide support thus the learning runs according to existing procedures.

Even, her agency would collaborate with the Health Agency to carry out Active Case Finding (ACF) or actively track cases as an effort to prevent Covid-19 in the school. If anyone was infected with Covid-19, they had to temporarily stop the learning process for 5 days if they were exposed to Covid-19 and learning was carried out online. The Covid-19 task force at schools would coordinate with the urban village task force and coordinate with the nearest health facility to spray disinfectant, including tracing school residents who were in close contact.
