The trend of positive Covid-19 cases in Indonesia has increased by 31 percent in the last few weeks. Epidemiologists say the policy of removing masks in public spaces is quite risky. Epidemiologist from Australia’s Griffith University, Dicky Budiman, said that in light of the current spike in cases, the Indonesian government should not forget that we cannot escape the global situation.
The global situation in question is the condition of Covid-19 which still has pandemic status, so the policies that can be implemented or need to be issued must be in line with the global situation and the target of controlling new cases of Covid-19 infection until the pandemic is declared truly over.
