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.
Moreover, President Joko Widodo also recalled all staff to hold to the principles of Good Governance in handling Covid-19.
