akarta Governor Anies Baswedan has revealed that the occupancy rate of hotels used as isolation facilities for asymptomatic patients were now at 21 percent, down from 60 percent previously.
A few months ago, the Jakarta administration “converted”the ibis Styles Jakarta Mangga Dua in North Jakarta, the U Stay Hotel Mangga Besar in West Jakarta and the ibis Jakarta Senen in Central Jakarta into isolation facilities for asymptomatic COVID-19 patients.
“Previously, the occupancy rate reached more than 60 percent. The hotel isolation facilities now have an occupancy rate of only 21 percent. We are grateful that the number has decreased," Anies said on Tuesday at City Council in Central Jakarta, as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Meanwhile, hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the capital reached 55 percent, with a bed occupancy rate of 58 percent at intensive care units (ICU). The central government and the Jakarta administration has designated 98 hospitals in the capital as COVID-19 referral hospitals.
Anies said that, to date, no surge in confirmed COVID-19 cases had occurred since the cuti bersama(collective leave) over the weekend.
Previous data show that the surge in COVID-19 cases occurred one to two weeks after the two long holidays in May and August.
"Of course, we do not expect [COVID-19 cases] to increase, but there is a possibility," he added.
