JAKARTA - Member of Commission IX of the DPR from the NasDem Faction, Irma Suryani Chaniago, agrees with the government's decision to stop the implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) starting today, Friday, December 30. However, Irma reminded the government to promote the third and fourth doses of vaccination or booster to anticipate the transmission of COVID-19. "If I agree to be revoked, because we cannot continue to be in a pandemic condition as long as we continue. However, the booster must be carried out immediately according to the target, because the fact is that the booster is the main doorstop for us not to be infected with COVID-19," said Irma Suryani to reporters, Friday, December 30. "So, when, for example, they have been boosted, then they get COVID-19, it's just like getting the flu, so the side effect is light. That means, it's no longer dangerous," he continued. In addition, Irma reminded those who have comorbid diseases to wear masks when leaving the house. "However, those who have comorbidities must of course continue to wear masks when socializing in closed or indoor spaces. That's personal awareness, because we can't stay in pandemic status for long," said Irma. Then, continued the legislator for the South Sumatra electoral district, the people's representatives must also teach the public to be orderly and disciplined in their own health and safety. "So if they really need a healthy life, the safety of their souls to avoid COVID-19, come on booster. Come on vaccines, don't blame the government. So, people also need to be educated to be disciplined," he explained. If it continues in a pandemic situation, according to Irma, there is not a single country in the world that is not bankrupt. "I just returned from Turkey, New York on average they are no longer wearing masks, because they have been boosted on average. Their boosters have reached 80 percent. Even Turkey has entered the fourth vaccination. That's their own awareness, we can't forever be in a pandemic," said Irma. Moreover, added Irma, now the COVID-19 situation has subsided. Even if cases in China rise again, he said, Indonesia only has to tighten regulations in Indonesia. "So all flights to and from China are people who come from China who still have to be antigen at our airport. Antigen first, if it is not positive please enter. But if it is positive, you still have to be quarantined. That is a consequence of the revocation of regulations from pandemic to endemic. So, I agree if it is revoked," he concluded. It is known that President Jokowi decided to stop PPKM starting today, Friday, December 30. The revocation of PPKM will be stated in the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 50 and 51 of 2022. Jokowi reasoned that the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia had been sloping. This reflects on the daily cases of COVID-19 on December 27, 2022, which were only 1.7 cases per 1 million population. "Through the considerations based on the existing figures, today the government has decided to revoke PPKM," said Jokowi at the State Palace, Jakarta, Friday, December 30. Jokowi said the weekly positivity rate was also at 3.3 percent. Then the bed occupancy rate is 4.79 percent, and the death rate is 2.39 percent. This figure, said Jokowi, is below the standards of the World Health Organization so that the government decided to stop PPKM. "So there are no more restrictions on crowds and the movement of people," he said.
