The first confirmed case of COVID-19 was found in the capital Jakarta on March 2, "large-scale social restrictions" measures were implemented on April 10, and the announcement of easing restrictions on June 4 was made to gradually restart the economy. More than five months after the outbreak of the epidemic, the growth of the number of confirmed cases in Indonesia has not slowed down, and the number of new deaths has entered a period of high growth recently.
As the focus of work shifts from epidemic prevention and control to economic recovery, the Indonesian government is stepping up efforts to require all citizens to abide by hygiene norms such as "wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining social distance".
At the cabinet meeting on "epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery" held the day before, the country's President Jokovic requested a two-week "mask wear" campaign nationwide to curb the spread of the new coronavirus. Previously, Jokovic visited East Java, where the epidemic is the most severe, and found that more than half of the people in some places did not wear masks in public places.
The president demanded that the implementation of health norms should be carried out in stages and with focus. He believes that "the upper and middle classes of society may be able to quickly understand and implement hygiene norms of wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and maintaining social distance, while the lower classes need to understand them one by one." To this end, he asked to carry out a two-week "mask wear" campaign first, and then gradually implement other health standards, so that all citizens can consciously implement health standards and adapt to the "new habits" of epidemic prevention and control.
