To Ensure Recovery is not in Vain

The government needs to invite local and traditional leaders to remind the people the importance of vaccinations and discipline with health protocols. All parties must do their part so that recovery is not in vain.

Residents receive the third dose of Covid-19 vaccine or booster at RPTRA Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Monday (28/3/2022). People's interest increased to get booster vaccines after the government announced complete vaccinations as a condition for going home for Eid.

With the fasting month of Ramadan only four days away, many are taking advantage of the relaxed public activity restrictions (PPKM) to visit cemeteries, shop for basic necessities and get vaccinated.

Since the government lowered the PPKM levels in its transition to Covid-19 as endemic, the community has been enthusiastic. There is a lot of traffic congestion, markets and malls are packed with shoppers and queues form outside of restaurants.
