Jokowi has instructed his subordinates to cut the 2020 year-end holiday short to curb Covid-19 transmission.

Coordinating Human Development and Culture Minister Muhadjir Effendy revealed the instruction at a press conference after attending a Cabinet meeting on Monday .

Previously, the government had decided to reschedule the Idul Fitri collective leave, which was initially set for May 26 to 29, to this year’s end, from Dec 28 to 31, due to an alarming rise in Covid-19 transmission earlier in the year. Separately, Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Tjahjo Kumolo said last week that there was no change in the upcoming collecting leave plans, thus far.

Tjahjo agreed on Doni’s stance. Indonesia recorded the highest case surge in a single day at 5,444 on Nov 13, approximately two weeks after the country enjoyed the late October long weekend.
