The implementation of the booster policy as a mobility requirement is motivated by the low achievement of booster vaccination.
The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment as the Coordinator of PPKM Java-Bali Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said the implementation of the booster vaccine as a condition for community mobility would only be implemented in two weeks at the latest.
The decision refers to the results of a Limited Cabinet Meeting chaired by President Joko Widodo and will be regulated through the Covid-19 Task Force regulation and other derivative regulations.
"The government will re-implement the policy of incentives and disincentives by changing and re-enacting the requirements for booster vaccination as a condition for people's mobility to public areas. In addition, the government will also re-implement the requirements for booster vaccination as a condition for traveling by air, land, and sea, which will be carried out a maximum of two more weeks," Luhut said in his official statement in Jakarta, Monday.
Based on data from various sources, it was found that the increase in Covid-19 cases in several countries was so significant, such as in France, Italy, and Germany.
Significant increase also occurred in neighboring country, Singapore. However, the good news is that Indonesia ranks the lowest in daily cases to the population, when compared to several other neighboring countries.
The implementation of the booster policy as a mobility requirement is motivated by the low achievement of booster vaccination.
Based on PeduliLindung data, of the 1.9 million people who enter the mall per day, only 24.6 percent have had a booster.
In the midst of increasing cases, this is certainly very worrying, considering that the community's antibodies will decrease. (antara)
