Indonesian Government Advises Parents to Keep Toddlers Away from Shopping Centers

One of the more enforced Covid-19-related health protocols in Indonesia is the use of a mask when stepping outside.

Achmad Yurianto underlined the need for Indonesians to understand the importance of wearing a mask as a means of protecting themselves amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Indonesian government has regularly reminded the public to practice the country’s health protocols as it grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.

Another health protocol that was raised during the press conference on June 20 was the regular washing of hands.

“We might not realize that we’re touching something which is why handwashing is extremely important,” said Achmad Yurianto.

Physical distancing is an extra set of measures that Indonesians have been advised to abide by.

Maintaining a distance of 1-2 meters in the new normal transition will protect an individual from being infected by the Covid-19 virus.

Achmad asked the public to educate themselves about the Covid-19-related health protocols and set an example for one’s family members in order for the new normal to feel less of a foreign concept.
