In response to the increase in Covid-19 cases, President Jokowi appointed the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Pandjaitan to reduce Corona Virus cases in nine provinces in two weeks.
Epidemiologist from Airlangga University Laura Navika Yamani said the two-week target was unrealistic. This is because the ministers do not support the implementation of the PSBB, which is one of the realization of the Covid-19 prevention protocol in a policy context.
