Workers head home on Thursday (23/4/2020) after finishing their shifts at a garment factory in Dayeuhkolot, Bandung regency, West Java.

The Covid-19 pandemic is causing a kind of stuttering on the part of governments and the public as they try to find the best way to manage it in countries around the world, including Indonesia.
Even countries with an established level of economic and technological progress, supported by a good health system, stuttered at the beginning of mitigating this non-natural disaster.
