In recent days, the daily cases of Covid-19 in Indonesia have shown a decline. Yesterday (6/9), there were 4,413 new positive cases. This data is certainly relieving. President Joko Widodo said the daily cases of Covid-19 for the past three days had decreased. In a Limited Meeting on the Evaluation of the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) with his aides via video conference from the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday (6/9), President Joko Widodo viewed that the national bed occupancy rate has also dropped to 20 percent.

The decline is certainly encouraging news, after in recent months the increasing number of daily cases has saddened the Indonesian people. But the most important point is that the decline in daily cases should not let the Indonesian people careless. As stated by Deputy Minister of Health, Dante Saksono Harbuwono in a press statement regarding the latest PPKM development yesterday, he reminded all parties to remain cautious in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. He added that this is the time for the Indonesian people to strengthen medical resilience.

All components of the nation must be involved in strengthening medical resilience. The policies taken and implemented by the government must be fully supported by the Indonesian people in carrying out the PPKM with high discipline. The lowering of the PPKM level status in a number of regions in Indonesia must be accompanied by high discipline in implementing the set health protocols.

Consciously, the Indonesian people must also take part in detection efforts to suppress the spread of Covid-19. One of them is by downloading the PeduliLindung application which is used to monitor the community, mitigate and evaluate the mobility status of each individual. Public awareness to use the PeduliLindung application in activities in the trade, transportation, tourism, office, education and religious sectors, will facilitate the tracking and handling of Covid-19.

Discipline and vigilance remain the main keys to suppress the spread of Covid-19. This must be firmly entrenched in oneself, thoughts and steps taken by every individual in Indonesia. Thus, the spike in cases that occurred again in several countries, such as the United States, Britain and Israel does not occur in Indonesia. With the strengthening of Indonesia's medical resilience, this can also detect and prevent new variant of the Covid-19 virus, such as the Mu Virus. May the Indonesian people get healthier!
