On this occasion, the Head of State also re-explained that the government’s policy to allow going home was taken because of the improving situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the President reminded that there is a transition period that must be handled carefully before the pandemic is declared as endemic.

“Indeed, we allow going home because we see that the daily case numbers are already very low and the active cases are already below 20 thousand, it’s really low. However, there is a transition period that we must be careful about,” he added. (T/RE1)
