Indonesia intensifies vigilance against monkeypox

Indonesia intensifies vigilance against monkeypox

BORNEOTRIBUN JAKARTA -- Amid the global fight against COVID-19, which was first detected in China in late 2019, nearly 80 countries have lately found themselves battling another front—the outbreak of monkeypox.

On July 23, 2022, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.

As of August 2, a total of 25,436 monkeypox cases have been confirmed in nearly 80 countries.

The United States, which currently has the most monkeypox cases in the world at more than 6,600, declared the outbreak a public health emergency on August 4.

The first monkeypox infection was detected in the United Kingdom in early May in an individual with a travel history to Nigeria, where the disease is endemic. Later, the virus spread to other European countries before moving to the United States, Canada, South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

First identified in monkeys in 1958, the disease is characterized by mild symptoms such as fever, aches, and pus-filled skin lesions. People tend to recover from it within two to four weeks, according to the WHO.

The monkeypox virus spreads through close physical contact and is rarely fatal. The vast majority of patients in several countries, including the US, have so far been men who have sex with men.

In the Southeast Asian region, three countries have reported monkeypox cases as of July: Singapore, with eleven confirmed cases; Thailand, with two cases; and the Philippines, with one case.

Indonesia has so far reported no confirmed monkeypox cases, despite the detection of several suspected cases.

According to Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin, a total of nine suspected monkeypox were detected in Indonesia, but all of them tested negative for monkeypox and positive for smallpox.

As part of preventive efforts, however, the Health Ministry has activated the surveillance system at all entry points to Indonesia, particularly airports.

Under the surveillance system, port health offices are checking the body temperature and indications of monkeypox in all travelers arriving from countries with cases of transmission of the zoonotic disease, Director General of Disease Prevention and Control at the Ministry of Health, Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, said recently.

The Indonesian Medical Association (IDI) has lauded the measures, saying preventive efforts are important, especially as almost all countries have relaxed travel rules.

"For example, foreign or domestic travelers entering Indonesia with skin disorders on their hand or face similar to smallpox, chickenpox, or herpes must be reported immediately to the health post at the airport," chairman of the IDI’s COVID-19 task force, Professor Zubairi Djoerban, said on August 4.

He also urged health workers to watch out for symptoms of skin disease, such as itching or spots, which could indicate a monkeypox infection.

In addition to strengthening security checks at airports, the authorities have also prepared laboratories, health service facilities, and research to anticipate the emergence of monkeypox.

The Health Ministry said that two laboratory facilities have been prepared to conduct epidemiological investigations for monkeypox, including undertaking examinations to detect the virus that causes the zoonotic disease.

The laboratories are Primate Animal Study Center (PSSP) laboratory of the Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) in Bogor city, West Java province, and the Prof. Sri Oemijati Research Laboratory on Infectious Disease at the Health Ministry’s Center for Health Development Policy (BKPK) in Jakarta.

Spokesperson for the Health Ministry, Mohammad Syahril, informed that the government will add ten laboratories at strategic locations to support the intensive effort to track the disease.

Besides, research will also be a key pillar for preventing the spread of diseases, including monkeypox, according to head of the Health Research Organization of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), NLP Indi Dharmayanti.

"Monkeypox is still a question among the public because the information is still diverse. Therefore, research related to this disease is essential for the public to know, including the symptoms and what needs to be prepared," she explained at a Talk to Scientists (TTS) webinar on "Monkeypox, A Global Health Emergency, and What do we Need to Know?" on August 2.

The BRIN Health Research Organization is ready to identify the virus that causes it and conduct research related to monkeypox to strengthen Indonesia's readiness if the virus enters the country.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI) has said that children are more vulnerable to the monkeypox virus therefore, parents need to exercise vigilance against the disease.

IDAI chairman Piprim Basarah Yanuarso said that so far, there is no specific vaccine to prevent monkeypox. Hence, parents must teach their children to adopt clean and healthy behavior (PHBS) to prevent all kinds of infectious diseases.

Meanwhile, head of IDI’s monkeypox task force, Hanny Nilasari, urged the public to always comply with PHBS to reduce the risk of transmitting infectious diseases such as monkeypox.

In addition, people have been asked to follow the health protocols, such as wearing masks and maintaining hand hygiene.

To prevent exposure to the monkeypox virus, people must avoid direct contact with animals that can transmit the virus, such as rodents, marsupials, and primates, whether dead or alive, Nilasari said.

Meanwhile, head of the Indonesian Epidemiologists Association's (PAEI's) Professional Development Department, Masdalina Pane, earlier called upon residents to play an active role in preventing monkeypox transmission.

"Residents must have an understanding of this disease, so they can play an active role in the collective efforts to prevent the disease," Pane said.

Ministry to start calculating Industrial Confidence Index in September

BORNEOTRIBUN JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry will start calculating the Industrial Confidence Index (IKI) in September 2022 through the National Industrial Information System (SIINas).

"We want to have precise and accurate figures on the perception of the industry," Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita noted in Jakarta, Friday.

According to Kartasasmita, the essence of IKI is similar to the Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) of industrial manufacturing issued by IHS Markit to measure industry perceptions.

He pointed out that the Ministry of Industry was unaware of which industrial sectors were to be included in the calculation of IHS Markit to obtain the Indonesian manufacturing PMI figure.

"The PMI that we have received so far from Markit, we do not know which industries are surveyed. We only know that 400 companies were surveyed without knowing which sectors were surveyed," the industry minister remarked.

Kartasasmita noted that with the IKI, the government could gain an understanding of the perception of industry players, so they could mitigate and prepare policies that aligned with the industry needs.

The Ministry of Industry will distribute questionnaires to industries whose contents will not be too different from those submitted by IHS Markit and Bank Indonesia (BI).

According to the minister, the questionnaire will be distributed to several industries based on data of Operational Permits and Mobility of Industrial Activities (IOMKI).

"We already have the IOMKI data, with a total of 16 thousand companies registered by IOMKI," the industry minister said.

Nevertheless, Kartasasmita is grateful that Indonesia's Manufacturing PMI rose again in July 2022, which was 51.53, higher than the June 2022 figure of 50.2.

Moreover, he noted that Indonesia was one of the only three countries in the world that had clocked an increase in PMI in July 2022.

The Indonesian Manufacturing PMI was compiled by IHS Markit on the basis of answers to monthly questionnaires sent to purchasing managers, who are members of a panel comprising about 400 manufacturing companies.

The panel is grouped by sector size and company workforce in detail, based on its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP).

Survey responses are collected in the second half of each month and indicate the direction of change as compared to the previous month.

The index varies between 0 and 100, with data above 50 indicating an overall gain as compared to the previous month, and below 50, an overall decline.

Jakarta, 05/8 (BorneoTribun) - Indonesia's economy grew by 5.44 percent in the second quarter (Q2) of 2022 as compared to the same period last year (year-on-year/yoy), according to Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

Economic performance during the period was even better than that recorded before the pandemic and indicated that economic recovery since the second quarter of 2021 continues and is getting stronger, BPS stated.

"Economic growth this year has steadily increased. It started from the second quarter of 2021, the third quarter of 2021, the fourth quarter of 2021, the first quarter of 2022, and the second quarter of 2022, (the economy) continues to grow," BPS Head Margo Yuwono noted here on Friday.

The 5.44-percent growth was contributed by the increase in gross domestic product (GDP) at Current Prices (ADHB) and GDP at Constant Prices (ADHK), Yuwono elaborated.

In the second quarter of 2022, the GDP at ADHB was recorded at Rp4,919.9 trillion, an increase from the second quarter of 2021, at Rp4,176.4 trillion.

Meanwhile, the GDP at ADHK increased, from Rp2,772.9 trillion in the second quarter of 2021 to Rp2,923.7 trillion in the second quarter of 2022.

Yuwono said, as compared to the previous quarter (qtq), the domestic economy has grown by 3.72 percent.

"This growth is in line with the pattern of quarterly growth. Hence, the second quarter is always positive and higher than the first quarter, partly due to seasonal factors," he stated.

Cumulatively, he remarked that Indonesia's economy in the first half of 2022 was recorded to grow 5.23 percent as compared to the first half of last year. 

Ministry pushes shopping center certification to draw investment

Director of investigation and dispute resolution at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DJKI) of the Law and Human Rights Ministry (Kemenkumham), Anom Wibowo.

BORNEOTRIBUN JAKARTA - The Law and Human Rights Ministry is encouraging intellectual property-based shopping center certification to improve investor confidence to invest in Indonesia, according to the ministry's Directorate General of Intellectual Property.   

So far, the ministry has certified 17 shopping centers and verified 77 submitted documents required for certification, director of investigation and dispute resolution at the directorate general, Anom Wibowo, informed here on Thursday.

The shopping center certification is part of Indonesia's efforts to be removed from the priority watch list (PWL) -- a list of countries that are considered by the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) to have serious intellectual property violations.

In addition to increasing the trust of foreign investors, the issuance of certification, at the direction of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), is expected to open as many investment opportunities as possible so that all countries can invest in Indonesia, the director noted.

Hence, the opening of the investment opportunities must also be supported by strict intellectual property law enforcement, he added.

To be eligible for certification, shopping centers must sell goods that have been listed in the data system of the directorate general, whether they are still in the application stage or have been registered, he informed.

Furthermore, the goods must not violate intellectual property.

“At least 70 percent of the merchants in the shopping centers must sell original goods (not fake ones),” Wibowo said.

The intellectual property-based shopping center certification program has been designated as a priority program of the directorate general for 2023 so that Indonesia can be removed from the PWL, he explained.

In the future, the certification will not only target modern shopping centers, but also traditional markets by adopting a humanist approach, for instance, by carrying out training and dissemination regarding intellectual property, he added.

The certification is expected to be expanded to various industrial centers in districts and cities, he said.
