President Joko Widodo reminded all ministries and staff to make  the handling of Covid-19 as the focus of all programs that are carried out. The president  during his  direction at the opening of the Plenary Cabinet Session, Wednesday (05/06/2020) at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta stated that the government must immediately be able to reduce and control the transmission of the covid-19  in Indonesia.  The president  targeted that the spread of the virus can be completely controlled in May, including lowering the Covid-19 curve.

"I asked all the ministers,  head of institutions,  Chief of Indonesian Police (Kapolri), military commanders to mobilize all the energy and power to control Covid and deal with the  impact.  Our target  is that  it must be truly achieved in May based on the basis of the target the government  has given, the curve must go down. It must enter a moderate position in June and it  must also enter an easier  position in July.  It is done not only by the Task Force but it also involves all elements of the nation.  Government ranks, social organizations, volunteers, political parties and the private sector.  This must be organized  properly. I believe if we are united, if we are disciplined in implementing health protocols, all the plans that we have prepared in the past can handle the  Covid as soon as possible" The President said.
