• The Governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, has relaxed the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in the capital, starting another transitional phase from 12 to 25 October. Jakarta imposed PSBB for the first time in April, mandating that all places of worship closed, while malls and markets could open for daily needs and companies were required to obtain a ministerial permit to operate. The administration began a transitional phase of PSBB by reopening places of worship and some public premises in June. However, the numbers of cases and deaths continued to rise, compelling Jakarta to reimpose PSBB on 14 September. The renewed PSBB involved more moderate rules than those implemented in April. During the current transitional period, workplaces in essential industries will be allowed to operate at full capacity, while nonessential businesses may allow up to 50% of their employees to work at the office; restaurants will be allowed to serve dine-in customers at 50% capacity and houses of worship will also be allowed to reopen2.

• The government, in cooperation with the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), has prepared 120 hotels in nine provinces to accommodate asymptomatic COVID-19 patients. DKI Jakarta has a total of 33 self-isolation hotels with 14 in Central Jakarta, three in East Jakarta, six in North Jakarta, five in South Jakarta and five in West Jakarta – altogether there are 4 333 beds. East Java has 16 self-isolation hotels with 2 160 beds; Papua has 20 with 1 797 beds; Bali has 12 with 1 547 beds; West Java has 12 with 1 169 beds, South Sulawesi has eight with 1 156 beds, South Kalimantan has 11 with 815 beds, North Sumatra has six with 184 beds and Central Java has two with 173 beds3.

• Indonesian President Joko Widodo has instructed to prioritize the COVID- 19 response in 12 regencies and cities: Ambon, Bogor, Bekasi City, Central Jakarta, Depok, East Jakarta, Jayapura, North Jakarta, Padang, Pekanbaru, South Jakarta, and West Jakarta. These regencies and cities have more than 1 000 active cases – 30% of the total active cases nationwide4.

Disclaimer: Based on data availability, only confirmed COVID-19 deaths have been included; however, as per the WHO definition, death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case is a COVID-19-related death, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery between the illness and death.

5 WHO Indonesia Situation Report - 29 who.int/indonesia • As of 14 October, the daily numbers of specimens and people tested were 40 393 and 37 044, respectively. As of the same day, the daily number of suspected cases was 154 420 (Fig. 6). The gap between suspected cases and people tested remains wide, therefore, it is imperative to increase laboratory capacity to ensure testing of all suspected cases.

WHO’s field staff are providing integral support by actively engaging and coordinating with the participating hospitals in their respective provinces. Some hospitals have requested for a second training on procedures to fill out the survey. To this end, WHO assisted MoH for a two-day refresher training for the referral hospital staff on 13 and 14 October, with 345 and 184 participants respectively.

• On 07 October, WHO participated in a meeting convened by MoH to prepare for the introduction of antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag- RDTs) in the country. The Subdirectorate of Surveillance, Subdirectorate of Emerging Infectious Diseases, Subdirectorate of Respiratory Diseases and the National Institute of Health Research and Development (NIHRD) attended the meeting. The participants agreed to initiate a pilot project to obtain an overview of Ag-RDT effectiveness by using them in contact tracing in a few select hospitals and communities. Other topics of discussion included: guidance development, training and an evaluation strategy.

• On 09 October, WHO met with NIHRD to finalize modules for an online training on COVID-19 PCR testing, tailored for subnational laboratory technicians. The training will be a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, divided into seven modules developed by experts in COVID-19 diagnostic activities. The modules will go through an accreditation process by the National Board for Human Health Resources and Development (PPSDM) before being used for the training.

During the event, world leaders, mental health experts and celebrity guests joined the WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to highlight what can be done to improve mental health and ensure availability of quality mental health care to everyone. The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign was ‘Move for mental health: let’s invest’. The WHO Regional Director for South- East Asia, Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, emphasized in her speech that access to need-specific, culturally sensitive mental health care for all (mainstreamed at all levels of service delivery) is vital to promoting a strong social and economic recovery.

• In Indonesia, WHO has been working with the MoH Directorate of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Prevention and Control, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and professional organizations to promote access to quality mental health services at community and primary health care levels, especially during the pandemic response. Some activities supported by WHO are listed below:

i. Commemorating World Mental Health Day 2020 in Indonesia: MoH hosted a public webinar on 08 October to promote mental health awareness. During the webinar, WHO advocated for expanding investment on mental health care and building back mental health care systems; some key points highlighted were:

- Committing to building back better a more resilient, comprehensive mental health care system, which includes prevention, mental health promotion, treatment and care, rehabilitation and recovery;

- Strengthening community-based services that have proven to be sustainable, cost-effective and accessible;

ii. Mental health mobile application system – Sehat Jiwa: MoH requested WHO’s support to upgrade the existing Sehat Jiwa application which is an online platform for mental health support. The platform includes self- assessment tools for early detection of mental health conditions, information on availability of mental health services, and resources on mental health promotion during COVID-19. The launch of the new version of Sehat Jiwa application took place on 10 October. The platform will be enhanced in the future by adding an online chat feature managed by professional mental health counsellors to provide psychological first aid (PFA) and counselling for the public, especially vulnerable populations.

iii. MHPSS protocols for children and adolescents: Since August, WHO has been supporting MoH and relevant stakeholders to develop MHPSS protocols for children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic for implementation at provincial and district levels. The protocols include guidance on planning, coordination, implementation and evaluation of appropriate mental health interventions. The aim is to provide operational support at the subnational level. The protocols have been finalized and are being disseminated to all provinces. As of 07 October, ten provinces have been oriented on the protocols: Aceh, Bangka Belitung Islands, Bengkulu, Jambi, Lampung, North Sumatra, Riau, Riau Islands, South Sumatra and West Sumatra.

Life skills programme: WHO and MoH are developing videos on life skills for adolescents and adults to help prevent substance use. A focus group discussion was held on 22 September with 20 respondents from NGOs and international NGOs (INGOs) at the community level to discuss the components of the videos based on the risk and protective factors for substance abuse. The life skill videos will be shared with all 34 Province Health Offices (PHOs) in November.

v. Psychological first aid: In collaboration with MoH and the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Brawijaya, East Java, WHO is promoting and developing video tutorials on PFA for COVID-19 responders, including community health centre (puskesmas) staff. These videos will facilitate training on how to support people in distress to feel calmer and better able to cope with the challenges they face. Local governments, NGOs/INGOs, academia, community leaders and health care workers can learn from these videos and set up various remote services to support those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. The videos will be finalized by the end of this year.
