JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) reminded the public to comply with health protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Health protocols are the main key to preventing COVID-19.

"The president again reminded us that the key to the COVID-19 pandemic is in the upstream, namely 3 billion people wearing masks, washing hands, maintaining distance", said Chairman of the Committee for Handling COVID-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN) Airlangga Hartarto, Wednesday, February 3.

Community discipline to comply with health protocols will be carried out with a micro approach, namely villages, neighborhood association (RT) / citizens association (RW).

In addition, in a closed meeting with KPCPEN, Jokowi instructed the standardization of masks to be made.

"For masks, the president asked that there be a standard, so that the masks that people use meet health standards, so of course the masks will also be effectively used", continued Airlangga who is also the Coordinating Minister for the Economy.

The Ministry of Health will add more officers who will do tracing in the field and this will involve community security and order development in the village (Babinsan and Bhabinkamtibmas)", explained Airlangga.
