KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. A number of new Covid-19 cases have started to appear in schools. This transmission occurs after the government allows face-to-face learning in green and yellow zones.

Regarding this, Wiku Adisasmito, Spokesperson for the Covid-19 Handling Task Force spoke up. Wiku emphasized that the government allows the opening of face-to-face schools with a number of strict conditions. If transmission still occurs, then Wiku considers that these conditions have not been implemented properly.

“If there is a cluster or a new case in the school, it is of course related to the opening process, which may not have been perfect in simulating it,” Wiku said in an online press statement from the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (13/8/2020).

Wiku reminded again that the process of opening face-to-face schools by the local government must be done in stages through a number of processes. This process starts from preconditions to determining the right time when the school should open.

Then the priority determines which schools must be opened first and which cannot be opened. Then, there must be consultation and coordination between the regional and central task forces. Finally, monitoring and evaluation must also continue during the face-to-face learning process.

Then each school also needs to make preparations to ensure that health protocols are continuously implemented by both teachers and students. This also includes the means of transportation for students to go to school.

“If everything is done well, there should not be clusters in schools or anything else,” said Wiku.
