Previously, the Coordinator of the Expert Team and Government Spokesperson for Handling COVID-19, Wiku Adisasmito, asked local governments to protect their respective regions by re-promoting booster vaccinations.

Then, ensure that the public is well educated about the importance of booster vaccination.

"Please also immediately coordinate with the Ministry of Health regarding the availability and distribution of vaccines as needed. Currently, large-scale community activities already require industry, for participants, and in the future it will soon become a requirement to be able to enter public facilities," said Wiku .
