JAKARTA - Member of Commission IX of the House of Representatives (DPR), Nur Yasin, asked the government to immediately carry out early mitigation, testing, tracing, and treatment accurately regarding the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to him, the Government must be more assertive and disciplined in preventing the potential entry of the B117 coronavirus mutation into Indonesia.

"So that the weak incidence of prevention of the entry of COVID-19, such as in early 2020, will not happen again," said Nur Yasin, Thursday, March 18.

In addition, after the AstraZeneca vaccine was postponed, which is one type of vaccine for the vaccination program, he assessed that the government must accelerate the manufacture of domestic vaccines, including the Red and White Vaccine and the Nusantara Vaccine.

"Immediately carry out further research to make vaccines, especially for new variants of the COVID-19 mutation," said the PKB politician.

Nur Yasin also encouraged the vaccination process to be accelerated, especially for the Islamic boarding schools so that the herd immunity in Indonesia would soon be formed.

"I also appeal to the public, both those who have been vaccinated and those who have not been vaccinated, to adhere to health protocols", he said.
