Previously reported, President Jokowi admitted that he was disappointed with the lack of optimal health protocol campaigns or health protocols, especially the use of masks in the community. In fact, the main health protocol using masks is the key to preventing the transmission of COVID-19.
"As I asked from the start, BNPB is working really hard on matters related to giving masks to campaign masks that I haven't seen until now," Jokowi said in a video uploaded to the Presidential Secretariat's Youtube, Saturday, July 17.
According to him, the surge in COVID-19 cases in Indonesia occurred in family clusters. Therefore, it is necessary to study other strategies in suppressing the spread of the coronavirus.
"Once again, please do a more detailed study of the blockage. The key is precisely the matter of wearing masks, the discipline of the process of wearing masks, especially," he said.
“Sekali lagi tolong ada kajian lebih detail mengenai penyekatan. Kuncinya itu justru adalah urusan memakai masker, kedisiplinan prokes memakai masker terutama,” ungkapnya.
Cabinet colleagues, according to instruction of President @jokowi, currently we are obliged to use mask.
Indonesia must be able to face the pandemic!#PernyataanPresiden #LensaKabinet
