JAKARTA - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that he had locked down (closed) the personal data of state officials. This closure is a follow-up to the leak of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) COVID-19 vaccination certificate.

"It's not just the President, there are other officials who have their NIKs distributed. We will close that," said Budi.

On the other hand, Budi also said that the PeduliLindung application needed system improvements. The goal, leakage no longer occurs.

"Now we will close for some sensitive officials, some of whose personal data are already open, we will close it," said Budi.
