After being inaugurated, Gibran Mayor of Solo, and Bobby Nasution, Mayor of Medan both conveyed their initial plans after officially taking office

Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution said that monitoring the COVID-19 vaccination program was his first task. President Jokowi's son-in-law wants the COVID-19 vaccination to be successful.

"Yes, of course during the COVID-19 pandemic, of course, the first thing we will review is that the vaccination program must run well, especially in the city of Medan," said Bobby Nasution, Friday, February 26.

For this program, Bobby targets 70 percent of Medan's people to be injected with the COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, Bobby Nasution will intensify the socialization to Medan residents.

"We will hold vaccinations on how to educate, how can people get vaccines. How to register, maybe today people don't know how to register independently, through websites, or hospitals. So this is what we have to socialize", he continued.

By accelerating the COVID-19 vaccination, Bobby Nasution believes that all sectors will be able to run normally again. "Once achieved, the economy, MSMEs must go hand in hand", he said.

Meanwhile, after the inauguration, Gibran stated that he would not wait long to make a working visit to prepare the vaccination activities at Pasar Gede Solo and Pasar Klewer.

Gibran will visit Gedhe Market to check vaccination preparations for merchants, and will be continued with Friday prayers at DPC PDIP Surakarta.

Gibran explained that he and Teguh would immediately do blusukan directly. In fact, Gibran has already scheduled work visits to several points.

"We do not have holidays on Saturdays and Sundays to speed up vaccination activities to accelerate economic recovery in Solo", said Gibran.
