Indonesian Government has canceled the plan to implement Community Activity Restrictions level 3 during the upcoming Christmas and New Year 2022 holidays.

Even though it was canceled, the Government asked all levels of stakeholders not to be careless in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, including preventing the entry and spread of the new variant of Covi19, Omicron.

ANTARA News Agency reported that one the one hand, the Government has issued special rules during the Christmas and New Year holiday period through the Instruction of the Minister of Home Affairs regarding the prevention and control of Covid-19.

On the other hand, the government will also tighten health protocols, in collaboration with the police by directly monitoring the implementation of health protocols in tourism objects and public places, including the use of increasingly strengthened pedulilindungi applications.

Like it or not, this government policy must be supported. Because it is  made  solely for the benefit of the community so that it must be fulfilled and obeyed.

The community and all relevant stakeholders should be able to accept this policy. It is hoped that all will have the same frequency, especially in implementing the mobility restriction policy, which will be applied during the  holidays.

As President Joko Widodo hopes, to maintain the currently low level of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia, it is necessary to implement a tightening policy. This is done to prevent an increase in cases after the Christmas and New Year holiday period, as well as to prevent the entry of the new variant,  Omicron.
