JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo said that the implementation of international and national activities such as the XX Papua PON and the World Policewomen Conference had a positive impact on Indonesia's economic growth.
According to Sigit, the positive impact of holding these two activities is of course supported by the handling and control of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"With the existence of national and international events, it will have an impact on economic growth in Indonesia, which will get better," Sigit said in a written statement quoted by Antara, Monday, November 8.
The National Police Chief said that Indonesia would still host international events, such as the Asian Talent Cup and World Superbike Championship (WSBK) at the Mandalika Circuit, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).
General Sigit emphasized that Indonesia's success in carrying out international and national activities needs to be maintained.
Sigit also asked all parties to help accelerate the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccination. Thus, communal immunity or immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 type corona virus will soon be formed.
Not only vaccination, the former Banten Police Chief emphasized that the discipline of implementing health protocols (prokes) must still be carried out properly.
"Of course, if we can do all of this, then Indonesia will be better in the eyes of the international community. Likewise, economic growth will be better," said Sigit.
"Of course the most important thing is to prevent the growth rate of COVID-19 being controlled. Once again we remind those who have not been vaccinated, carry out, follow vaccination activities. And those who have been vaccinated will continue to carry out health protocols," he explained.
In terms of accelerating vaccination and strengthening health protocols, the National Police Chief invites all elements of society to unite and join hands in making this happen.
"As stated by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), the awakening of a sense of humanity, brotherhood, and unity from all directions is a great power that adds to the belief that this disaster will be able to be overcome together," said Sigit.
Sigit added, with the decrease in PPKM levels coupled with relaxation of community activities, the application of health protocols should not be neglected or negligent in the slightest, in order to prevent the third wave of COVID-19.
