JAKARTA - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin said the data entry process in Indonesia is still bad. Because, in the process, errors often occur.

The statement was made when responding to the issue of the circulation of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) COVID-19 vaccination certificate.

"In Indonesia, data entry errors often occur, the intention is to go there (improvement)," said Budi at the Metro Jaya Police, Friday, September 3.

Therefore, Budi said there needs to be a system improvement. This is because the PeduliLindung application is used by the entire community to check vaccination status.

Moreover, vaccination has become a requirement for people to be active. For example in shopping centers and airports.

"Those who can access are all applications that are in every activity, for example checking in at the airport, wanting to check in to a mall or wanting to enter an industry, office," said Budi.

Previously, Budi Gunadi Sadikin confirmed that he had 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.

"So, the first thing we conveyed last night was information about this. Now it has been tidied up, the data for officials is closed," said Budi.

Actually, said Budi, not only is Jokowi's National Identity Number (NIK) the biggest. Some official data has also been circulated. Thus, it is quickly closed so as not to be misused.

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