Govt. Set to Monitor COVID-19 Developments over the Next Two Months Prior to Introduction Endemic Status

Given that the number of Corona Virus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") cases has fallen to just 500 while the positive rate for the disease has fallen to just 1% over the last five days across Indonesia, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, has stated that the government will be monitoring COVID-19 related developments during the next two months with a view to changing the status of the disease from that of pandemic to endemic.
While Indonesia’s current COVID-19 positive rate of 1% is well below the World Health Organization’s standard of 5%, Mr. Pandjaitan is nevertheless urging the public not to seek to apportion blame in relation to recent spikes in case numbers and to maintain strict health protocols, particularly in terms of the government’s ongoing vaccination program.
If COVID-19 cases are successfully brought under control over the next two months, then Mr. Pandajaitan has stated that the government may announce the change in the status of COVID-19 to that of endemic on Indonesian Independence Day, which falls on 17 August. _(ANT)
