JAKARTA, KOMPAS TV – President Joko Widodo or Jokowi considered that closure efforts made at the city, district and province levels were not the appropriate solution to reduce the spread of the coronavirus or Covid-19.

This is because, according to Jokowi, lockdowns that take place at the city, district and province levels can sacrifice people’s lives.

“There is no need to worry about the closure of provinces, the closure of cities or the closure of districts, because it will sacrifice people’s lives,” Jokowi said in a video uploaded to the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube account on Saturday ( 03/10/2020). .

Jokowi said the government has a strategy to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.

That is, finding a point of balance between the interests of public health and economic interests.

For this reason, instead of blocking provinces, cities and districts, Jokowi emphasizes the application of micro-scale social restrictions or micro-locks.
