7 in 10 Indonesians with Disabilities Don't Fully Grasp Covid-19 Health Protocols

The country’s special needs schools have also been affected, and Indonesian children with disabilities who are in the rehabilitation phase are unable to conduct therapy.

“Due to the limited social mobility to break the chain of transmission of the Covid-19 virus, all public services came to a stop, thus leading them to experience difficulties,” the Deputy Assistant said.

On June 23, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection distributed packages to the people with disabilities, senior citizens, women, and children.

The packages included basic goods and other essential needs.
