Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Indonesia has just had a long holiday after taking leave together and commemorating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad SAW. This long vacation really worried Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati.
Sri Mulyani said that the long holidays of October 28-31, 2020 have the potential to increase the cases of corona virus or covid-19 infection, if the public is not careful and does not follow health protocols.
“After the long vacation, we are worried. We hope that people who take long vacations will continue to discipline health protocols. Because if not, the number [penularan] Covid-19 is active, “Sri Mulyani said as a speaker at the 2020 Bodjong Festival virtually, on Sunday (1/11/2020).
The reason is, he said, if the transmission cases of Covid-19 increase, the economy and social conditions in Indonesia will worsen. This means that the government must take emergency brakes to re-deal with covid-19 and restore the national economy.
“Then we will have to take steps to slow down again, and that means it will have a negative impact on the economy and society,” he said.
“The impact of the spread of COVID is so fast and deadly that all countries must take action, measures to protect and save people and society.”
Sri Mulyani hopes that all parties will help the community to be safe from Covid-19 by implementing a disciplined health protocol. Because if people do not comply with health protocols, the economy will surely have a difficult time recovering.
Jasa Marga noted that during the period from October 27 to 28, 336,929 vehicles left Jakarta. Meanwhile, for other land routes, specifically by train, there has been a rapid increase in the number of passengers.
PT KAI Daop 1 Head of Public Relations Eva Chairunisa explained to CNBC Indonesia on Tuesday (10/27/2020), compared to the weekend of last week, the average passenger volume ranged from 2,700 to 2,800 passengers per day.
Then, compared to October 27 and 28, which is the start of a public holiday or long holiday, the number of passengers reaches 9,000 to 9.5,000 passengers per day.
Increased mobility outside Jakarta needs to be monitored and considered. Long vacations are often used by many people for sightseeing. The Covid-19 epidemic that has not been fully tamed has the potential to rise again and create new clusters.
