All rooms in the North Jakarta Mayor's Office Complex were sprayed with disinfectant on Sunday (8/23) in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"It is done according to the mayor's mandate. We do sterilization in preparation for the return of activities tomorrow," expressed Household Sub-division Head for North Jakarta Administration, Ahmad Syarif.

He mentioned that the spraying targeted Blok P (Main Building), Blok Q (Yos Sudarso Hall), Blok M (Mosque), Blok T (Parking Building), Blok S (PTSP Office), Blok R and Blok U.

"This is a routine agenda if there is a long holiday. This is done every afternoon," he told.

In the meantime, North Jakarta and Thousand Islands Fire and Rescue Sub-agency's Operational Division Head Abdul Wahid added, in the field, as many as 25 firefighters had been alerted to spray disinfectant.

Some were alerted on the two floors of the building using sprayers and the rest plus two pump cars were deployed outside the building.

"It is focused on objects that are often touched considering the disease also spreads from person to person through the touch of objects," he closed.
