"We still have to be patient and restrained because we can not interact directly, face-to-face with family and friends," said Jokowi.
Jokowi understands the heavy public conducting virtual friendships. However, there is no other option because this is to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
"We must put health, safety of all of us first. yes, all of us. So that as soon as possible we can be free from pandemics," said Jokowi.
