Mr Syarif said the Indonesian government's response to the crisis has been marked by"denial, complacency and a lack of transparency about the location and number of positive cases".
He said earlier this year, at peak of the outbreak in China, President Joko Widodo announced plans to offer incentives for foreign travellers in an effort to boost the economy. In the capital, there are limited public transport services, with people urged work from home. Cinemas and other public entertainment centres have been shut. He said he and others in his profession are urging authorities to tighten the restrictions to get people off the streets.
Already, there have been significant daily increases in the number of cases, though Mr Syarif said that's a good thing.
Joke Widodo doesn’t care, isn’t he the same clown that said the shooting of drug people was ok, even informants.
Thank goodness we in isolation on our island. If only authorities would stop ALL foreign arrivals and Aussies upon return forced into isolation.
Wow. What a shock!
No one work that out when this all began? Being in the Top 4 destinations of Chinese tourists and their repeated statements of no Cases didn't raise any alarm bells?
Combine that approach with a pandemic, and you have the world's highest death rate. It chills me to think about how many mass graves are being made around the world at the moment.
Only 2500 tests? No wonder the cases were so low.
Yet Garuda flights land in Sydney all week.
Denial, complacency and lack of transparency... So, business as usual for the Indonesian government?
