Anies admitted that he had talked with foreigners who participated in the Gotong Royong vaccination. Anies said that they are grateful for this vaccination program.
This is because they cannot participate in the government's free vaccination program. Meanwhile, they need vaccinations as a condition for traveling back to their country.
"I had a chat with some, they came here. Some are from Africa, this is the first time to Indonesia, coming in March. Just when the pandemic spiked and after that, he could not return to his country", said Anies.
"So, since March, he has not been able to travel in Indonesia until now, cannot go home. And finally, he got the vaccine today, hopefully, it can be a means to go home to see his family again after a year of waiting", he continued.
