Police officers wearing hazmat suits spray disinfectant liquid in the Petamburan III area, Central Jakarta, Sunday (22/11/2020). The spraying was carried out following the finding of a positive case of COVID-19 in the Petamburan area.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – People should not reduce their alertness in facing the COVID-19 pandemic because the pandemic is not shown any sign of abating. Rather, the number of daily positive cases has increased. Indoor activities and packed crowd are still the main source of coronavirus infections.

“Packed crowds, whatever the causes are, increases the risk of infection. So, people should be reminded to avoid crowds, aside from high risk indoor activities,” Indonesian Medical Association (IDI) COVID-19 task force head Zubairi Djoerban said on Sunday (22/11/2020) in Jakarta.
