JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the COVID-19 Task Force (Task Force) Wiku Adisasmito asked all Christians who celebrate Easter to continue to implement health protocols and regulations on limiting micro community activities (PPKM).

Because until now the COVID-19 pandemic in the country has not ended.

"The government requests that this year's Easter celebration be carried out while adhering to health protocols and other provisions that apply during the PPKM Mikro period," Wiku said in a press conference broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat YouTube account, Thursday, April 1.

He also asked people not to travel or move to other places if it is not urgent. This must be done to prevent potential transmission of COVID-19 in the community.

Wiku asked local governments to optimize the role of the post during the Easter holidays. The COVID-19 Task Force understands that many areas are anticipating tourist visits during this holiday season.

However, he asked, the holiday, which will start from Friday, April 2 to Sunday, April 4, could be a momentum for each region to enforce health protocols.

"In fact, holidays should be a time when the process of health is being enforced," said Wiku.

"Do not let there be another spike in cases in the regions, considering that this will set a very bad precedent in the future and has the potential to have a prolonged negative impact," he concluded.
