JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – President Joko Widodo reiterated that public health remains number one. This is the priority of government policy in handling the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, this priority does not mean sacrificing the economy. Because, if managing Covid-19 sacrifices the economy, it is the same as the lives of tens of millions of people.
“The government’s strategy from the beginning was to find a balance point,” President Jokowi said in a video received by Kompas TV on Saturday (3/10/2020).

President Joko Widodo also explained that the government has always tried to find a balance in the policy of handling Covid-19.
The government does not want to take reckless measures by imposing social restrictions on various provinces, districts / cities. Because this step can sacrifice people’s lives.
“But we are still serious about preventing the spread of the plague,” said President Jokowi.
