TRIBUNBATAM.id, BATAM - Effective reproduction rates are predicted to decrease ahead of the implementation of New Normal in Batam.
Head of Batam City Health Deparment, Didi Kusmarjadi said, the addition of new cases of Covid-19 for a week was under 5 cases.
"The reproduction rate will refer to whether New Normal will be carried out or not. Rt below 1 for 2 weeks in a row is only clear for the application of New Normal, "he told TribunBatam.id, Monday (6/8/2020).
Didi also explained that the application of New Normal in Batam was interpreted as the occurrence of easing the Large Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB).
However, because Batam did not occur PSBB, the choice was that residents be asked to coexist with Covid-19 by complying with government health protocols.
"If in Batam itself there is only a Community Activity Restriction (PAM). If the household has not declined, of course PAM will be re-conducted, "he said again.
