Jakarta The COVID-19 surge in other countries should be a lesson for Indonesians to not be careless in following the health protocols, government spokesperson for COVID-19 handling, Reisa Broto Asmoro, has said.

“We must learn from other countries, especially in Europe, where cases surge occurred again due to carelessness in complying with health protocols,” Asmoro, who is also the Ambassador for the Adaptation of New Habits, said during a ‘Stay Alert When COVID-19 Sweeps’ talk organized by the Health Ministry, which was accessed from here on Monday.

The rate of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia is consistently sloping, she noted. As of November 6, 2021, the positivity rate for COVID-19 in the country was below 1 percent, she pointed out.

Nevertheless, she said, people must not be careless in following the health protocols.
