Indonesia Highlights: Tito Karnavian’s Message for Regional Heads | Nearly 200 Doctors in Indonesia Died from Covid-19 | Airports Gearing Up for Holiday Travelers

The novel virus has so far claimed the lives of nearly 200 doctors in Indonesia.

To break the chain of transmission, citizens and residents can take a more proactive stance regarding testing and tracing measures.

“Frankly, the pandemic is not the sole responsibility of medical workers or government, but for all of us. The pandemic affects every person and region, and we must fight it together.”

Daeng explained that the concern with weak adherence to tracing and testing is the potential of the virus transmission to spread even more. Other means that the public can take include following existing Covid-19 health protocols.
