Ridwan Kamil Had Suspected the Impact of Covid-19 Same as DHF

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –

Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil recognize the impact of the plague Covid-19 in Indonesia outside of what he thought was a regional head. Ridwan Kamil initially predicted that the Covid-19 outbreak had the same impact as dengue fever.

“The first two months, we suspect expected Covid is only a matter of health. Like dengue fever, then we focus on it, but because it turns out the solution must stop social interaction. So it turns out that we begin to understand that the second economic crisis was born again, “said Ridwan Kamil when filling out a webinar, Tuesday (7/28).

The former Mayor of Bandung said that the Covid-19 outbreak was ultimately a test for all groups of leaders. The Covid-19 exam, he said, was given to the president to the head of the household.

“Covid is a test of leadership from the presidential level to the head of the household, all tested by Covid-19,” Ridwan Kamil said.

Emil, his nickname, said Covid-19 also tested a country’s democratic and political system. How a country deals with this virus is really tested, from those who act quickly and repressively, to policies that then lead to violence to demonstrations.

Associated with the corona effect in West Java, continued Emil, after two months of running unemployment and poverty data in West Java increased. In fact, he said, recipients of social assistance also surged to the government subsidy, which at first only 25 percent had to receive 75 percent.

“In the third and fourth months we realize that the problem is just as terrible between health and the economy,” he said.

He also admitted that he never thought the impact that Covid-19 would be given would be that big. Emil is aware that whoever the leader is is obliged to have accurate ideas related to rising from pademi while staying alert from this outbreak.

“Why, because the curve does not go down. The curve has not gone down but the economy is already bad, so it is like the governors are playing acrobatics. Be careful while going on,” he said.
