According to him, it was the instruction of the President that regions outside Java and Bali are asked to reactivate the COVID-19 command posts, but are not obliged to implement large-scale social restriction (PSBB).
The City Government of Banjarmasin, he said, together with COVID-19 Task Force followed up the order and collaborated so there is no wider spread of COVID-19.
"So our choice is to implement PPKM by imposing small scale social restriction (PSBK) as we did before, namely the scale of sub-district, urban village, till housing complex," he said, Friday.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto stated on Wednesday that the government decided to impose restrictions on the movement of people on January 11-25, especially in Java and Bali, to counter an exponential rise in the number of new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection.
