He added that the public should be grateful because WHO has revoked the COVID-19 emergency status. However, he reminded to remain vigilant.
"Regarding the revocation, I think I am grateful, even Indonesia has revoked PPKM since 2022. We have withdrawn because we are sloping, even though we are still vigilant. Therefore, we should remain (alert) because it has not been lost. The term from WHO has not been lost at all, it's just not dangerous," he explained.
Furthermore, he also appreciated the people who have committed to showing vigilance even though the PPKM status had been revoked by the Government long before the COVID-19 emergency status was revoked by the WHO, one of which was to consistently use masks when doing daily activities.
