He later said President Jokowi was not wearing a mask in open spaces, including while visiting the Tanah Abang Market on Monday morning.
"The president shows us that public participation and awareness is important. He feels healthy today, so he did not wear mask in open space," Budi added.

"We must wear masks in a closed room, especially if someone coughs. I will definitely ask them to wear a mask," he said.
