According to him, the COVID-19 screening process needs to be carried out seriously, considering that the first patient was infected without a history of foreign travel.

"The COVID-19 screening work system at every gate of the transportation route must also be carried out seriously without distinguishing whether they are ordinary people, officials, or conglomerates. Everyone must obey the rules," Anas continued.

Anas also suggested that the government immediately consider and prepare booster vaccines for the community to maintain the level of immunity so as to reduce the risk of transmission.

"One more thing that needs attention, it is time for the government to consider more progressive steps. For example, by promoting booster vaccines to reduce the risk of faster transmission, as well as coating immunity and resistance of the community in dealing with the new variant of the COVID attack," he said.
