The number of new cases in Europe rose 23 percent this week, while South America 13 percent.

"This should remind us that we must remain cautious and vigilant because the world is still faced with uncertainty. Once again, there is an upward trend in world cases," said Jokowi.

Jokowi said that there were three things that caused the upward trend in Covid-19 cases.

The first is social relaxation that happens too fast and massively. Second, the public is no longer disciplined in implementing health protocols - even a number of countries have allowed removing masks. Third is face-to-face learning in schools. (tan/mcr20/jpnn)
