Jakarta Indonesia ranked among five countries worldwide to have successfully handled the COVID-19 pandemic at level 1 through hard work and mutual cooperation among all parties, according to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

“We became one of the five countries in the world to have succeeded in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic at level 1. This proved our nation’s ability to face challenges,” he remarked at the Congress for Alumni Association of the Indonesian National Student Movement at the State Palace on Monday.

President Jokowi affirmed that Indonesia’s success in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated its ability to turn difficult challenges into opportunities in order to forge ahead.

Indonesia has also been exceedingly thorough and careful in its approach while issuing policies to control the COVID-19 pandemic and simultaneously restore the community’s economy, he noted.

“When the world is under lockdown, we are carefully controlling the pandemic while still moving the economy carefully,” Jokowi remarked.
