"We are consolidating the handling of COVID-19, including in the framework of the G-20 later. There is nothing else," Airlangga told reporters after a meeting held at the DPD I office of the East Java Golkar Party in Surabaya, as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 12 night.

According to him, East Java will be one of the meeting places so that his arrival will also monitor readiness, including health.

In addition, Juanda Airport will soon be arriving for Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) so that preventive measures must be taken to avoid COVID-19, especially the new variant of Omicron.

When asked about his communication with Khofifah regarding the 2024 Presidential Election, Airlangga, who currently serves as Coordinating Minister for the Economy, denied this and emphasized that the affairs of the 5-year political contestation were still far away.

Airlangga emphasized that so far the relationship with Khofifah was very good because she had sat on one commission while both were members of the DPR.

"2024 is also still a bit far," Airlangga added.

Meanwhile, Airlangga also revealed that he had come to consolidate with the administrators of the DPD II Golkar in East Java.

"First I came here, to Golkar, East Java, to consolidate the party. The second thing. Tomorrow, in the context of work, I will monitor the prices of basic necessities, because the government has decided to maintain the price of cooking oil at Wonokromo Market. Also check the pre-employment cards in East Java," he said.
