The Covid-19 pandemic is under control and the rate of confirmed cases is declining but new variants are still emerging. In this transitional period caution is required in policymaking, especially in the economic sector.

The government would adjust COVID-19-related policies, taking into account the controlled transmission rate and the increase in socioeconomic activities.

The government needs to invite local and traditional leaders to remind the people the importance of vaccinations and discipline with health protocols. All parties must do their part so that recovery is not in vain.

Many cases of Covid-19 are spread through close contact with people with mild symptoms or none at all, so public vigilance must be maintained.

According to the latest records, the number of new daily Covid-19 cases across the nation reached 46,843 cases on 9 Feb. 2022.

The provision of temporary accommodation to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission among health workers was important. Most of the health workers who tested positive for Covid-19 were infected outside their hospitals

Areas outside Java could be more at risk with the spread of the Omicron variant, mainly due to limited vaccinations and health facilities. The government was asked to speed up vaccination.

It is better to prepare for the worst but still hope for the best. Selfishness can cause harm to others. Complying with the health protocols in a disciplined manner will not only protect yourself, but others as well.
