"Don't repeat the same mistakes, so we are safe from Covid-19," he said.

The minister also invited all regional leaders to be more active in monitoring every parameter of the pandemic mitigation on a regular basis in order to take quick steps to anticipate a spike in cases.

The parameters he referred to are the number of active cases, the positivity rate, and the bed occupancy ratio (BOR).

He also emphasized that local governments must strengthen their vaccination coverage, 3T (testing, tracing, and treatment), and the use of PeduliLindungi app in various places, such as malls, cafes, markets, and tourist attractions.

"All parties must play a role in enforcing health protocols as a form of anticipation to reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission," he added. (antara/mcr20/jpnn)
