JAKARTA - National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, stated Indonesia is the country with the first rank in handling COVID-19 in Southeast Asia.

This is evidenced by the daily decline in daily positive COVID-19 cases. Where daily cases had touched tens of thousands, currently only hundreds.

"Currently we are ranked 1 in Southeast Asia for controlling the rate of COVID-19", said Listyo Sigit at Lion Star Group, North Jakarta, Friday, October 29.

Based on data from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), the positive rate on a national scale is far below the WHO standard. Where currently at 0.5 percent.

"During the last few weeks, our positive rate is far below 1 but 0.5 percent", said Sigit.

Therefore, Sigit emphasized to the entire community to continue to prioritize health protocols. Although currently, the government has relaxed activities, especially in the economic sector.

The emphasis is because there are survey results that state that the potential for the spread of COVID-19 is still very high. Especially during breaks at work.

"This is what we really need to pay attention to. So that we can maintain control of the COVID-19 rate, we can maximize it", concluded Sigit.
