Palace Reaction Regarding Raffi Ahmad Gathering Without Masks After Vaccination

JAKARTA - Head of Presidential Secretariat Heru Budi Hartono said that his party would reprimand Raffi Ahmad for gathering with other people after undergoing the COVID-19 vaccination.

"Thank you for the information. We will advise you," Heru said in a short message, Thursday, January 14.

It is known, a number of photos of Raffi Ahmad attending an event that were seen crowding spread on social media some time after he had his first chance of being vaccinated at the State Palace.

In the photo circulating, Raffi Ahmad and his wife, Nagita Slavina, took a photo without wearing a mask and keeping a distance from other public figures, namely Gading Marten and Anya Geraldine.

The upload provoked a number of comments, including from actress and singer Sherina Munaf.

Sherina, who previously uploaded the story of her husband who had to isolate himself due to close contact with people with COVID-19, regretted Raffi's actions.

Sherina said that Raffi Ahmad as the recipient of the first COVID-19 vaccine should be a good example of implementing health protocols.

"Hello Raffi Ahmad, after being vaccinated does not mean wandering around in a crowd. You were chosen for the initial quota of vaccines because there were many followers. For the same reason, please consistently set a good example. Please you can do better than this. Your followers are counting on you, "Sherina Munaf wrote in a tweet on her Twitter account, quoted Thursday.
