Because of the experience a few years ago, after Nataru tripled. The increase after Eid was the highest. Therefore, we want to ensure that the acceleration of vaccination can be completed before Nataru,” said Sigit.

Of course, we hope that the Covid-19 pandemic will continue to achieve its economic growth target. 2021 by 3.7-4.5%.

We hope that by controlling Covid-19, economic growth and national and international activities that we will carry out in the future can run smoothly. Internationally, from the people’s perspective, this is very important for Indonesia’s status,” said Sigit.
