Jakarta PRKP Agency Head, Sarjoko said, those two public housings were prepared to anticipate if the hospital's capacity was no longer able to accommodate COVID-19 patients.

The controlled isolation locations for COVID-19 patients in Daan Mogot Public Housing would be centered in towers 6 and 7, while in Pulogebang-Penggilingan Public Housing would be centered in towers C4, C5, and C6.

"In total, there are 1,044 residential units prepared for controlled isolation locations, consisting of 522 units in Daan Mogot Public Housing and 522 units in Pulogebang-Penggilingan Public Housing," he informed, Wednesday (2/9).

Each unit has two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a laundry room, and a living room.
