BOGOR - Indonesian Vice President Ma'ruf Amin said tightening the entrance to travel to Indonesia was the initial solution to prevent a new variant of SARS-CoV-2 named Mu or B1621 from developing domestically.
"If it had brought the new variant later, it could have been prevented from the start", said Vice President Ma'ruf while reviewing face-to-face learning (PTM) limited to schools in Bogor, West Java, reported by Antara, Thursday, September 9.
The tightening of the entrance, said Ma'ruf Amin, must be carried out in various trips, both land, sea, and air.
"Both in the field, in the air, as well as at sea gates, all of these are being tightened. So, the direction is tightening", said the Vice President, affirming.
In addition, the Government's efforts to prevent wider transmission of the Mu variant virus are by implementing strict health protocols and strengthening testing, tracing, and treatment (3T).
"We are preparing our ability to ward off the new virus from within by tightening the application of health protocols with 3M (wearing a mask, washing hands, keeping a distance), then also testing and tracing", said the Vice President.
