As new clusters of COVID-19 transmission continue to emerge in industrial areas in Bekasi


regency, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil has urged factory workers to report their daily
activities in a bid to reduce the transmission risk.
“Every factory worker is required to fill out a journal every morning detailing their activities
outside of the factory as well as a list of everywhere they go outside of the factory,” Ridwan,
who is also the province’s COVID-19 task force chief, said on Friday.
The report, he went on to say, would be used to analyze high-risk activity patterns among the
workers.
He also said he hoped the analysis would help factory owners to conduct polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) tests and ensure that any worker who tests positive for COVID-19 goes into self-
isolation.

During a visit to the industrial areas in Deltamas in Cikarang on Friday, Ridwan also criticized the
lack of proper ventilation in the factories. He asserted that plants must have proper air
ventilation to prevent the virus from circulating in one place.
He also urged factory owners and management that if there was any local virus transmission in
the factory, they must order employees in the affected areas to work from their respective
homes, while continuing some of the factory’s operational activities to maintain productivity.
The West Java COVID-19 task force has been focusing on preventing coronavirus transmission in
industrial areas in Bekasi and Karawang following reports of emerging COVID-19 clusters among
the workers.
The West Java COVID-19 Information and Coordination Center (Pikobar) recorded 385 new
cases on Friday, which brings the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in West Java to 12,104
as of Sept. 4. As many as 6,455 patients have recovered, while 5,368 patients are under
quarantine. Meanwhile, 281 deaths have been recorded in the province.
