How Corona.jakarta.go.id Platform Developed
Do you already know the Jakarta Response Covid-19 platform corona.jakarta.go.id? Or have you accessed it frequently to find out official Covid-19 information in Jakarta? If you haven't, you can check it right away. The work of this website has been going since February 2020 when there was data of Covid-19 suspects. In the first month of the presence of the Covid-19 website, the menu in it was still very minimal, such as only case data, monitoring data, and WPK RT and RW maps. From providing information of only 13 referral hospitals, to an increase of 67 hospitals and now it has increased to 101 referral hospitals. This website was born on March 6, 2020 and until now has become one of the official information platforms for Covid-19 in Jakarta.
The following months the website continued to grow to suit the information needed by the public. One of them is by providing information on social assistance which has now changed its name to cash social assistance, to presenting a Large-Scale Social Collaboration program which is now in 4 parts, namely KSBB for Food, Education, UMKM, and KSBB for Settlements.

Data Needs in Tackling Covid-19
Data and analysis during a pandemic have a very important role. Data can help people aware of many things related to a pandemic. For example, through data you can find out the spread of Covid-19 transmission in an area so that you can be more careful if you have to leave the house. Processed data can help us visualize the spread of a pandemic, such as by group cluster categories or seeing geographic areas.
Data analysis was also carried out for policy making during this pandemic. For example, when Jakarta wants to implement large-scale social restrictions in Jakarta, data is a big consideration in making that policy decision. In this JSC Talks discussion, Hansen Wiguna explained the Covid-19 data processing process from data sources to displaying data visualizations. In processing the data, JSC is collaborating with several parties.
