TO help flatten the coronavirus curve, the government is now urging people to wear face masks whenever they are out in public.

The new recommendation is an update from the previous guidelines and is in line with the World Health Organization’s latest recommendation.Previously, Indonesia complied with the WHO’s recommendations that face masks only be worn by medical professionals and sick people in order to prevent a supply shortage.

“Previously, the WHO advised that only sick people should wear face masks, but now it recommends that everyone wear face masks, especially in public places.” “The public can wear cloth masks or masks made from other materials as long as they can prevent the spread of saliva droplets when speaking,” he added.

“I’ve ordered to prepare for the distribution of face masks to the public because we’re planning to require everyone who leaves their homes to wear a mask, in accordance with WHO recommendations,” he said yesterday.“For the public, the president has asked regional leaders to ramp up production of cloth masks through small and medium enterprises. This will help to fulfil need for masks so that they won’t depend on the central government,” he added.
