TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Reports suggest that Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto has officially signed Jakarta’s proposal to subject the city with large-scale social restriction protocol or PSBB in a program to accelerate the city’s COVID-19 mitigation.
The signed decree to impose the PSBB was signed by Minister Terawan today on April 7, which according to the copy Tempo received, must impose the statutory provisions consistently and push the public to apply a hygienic lifestyle.
This will effectively order Jakarta to impose the PSBB for a length of the coronavirus incubation period with additional extension if proof of additional spread is found.
Indonesia’s COVID-19 Achmad Yurianto confirmed to Tempo today that the decree has been signed by the Health Minister and is being officially sent to the Jakarta administration.
