Safrizal said that the extension of PPKM level 1 was carried out based on considerations and input from experts by looking at the factual conditions in the field. This extension, he said, was aimed at making the public remain vigilant against the transmission of Covid-19 as people’s mobility increased.

Moreover, he said, currently the realization of the national economic recovery program shows a better trend.

Safrizal said that in the latest regulation there is an adjustment of the entrance for foreign travelers. There are 15 airports that are the entrances for international passenger travel, namely Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Kertajati Airport, Juanda Airport, Ngurah Rai Airport, Hang Nadim Airport, Sam Ratulangi Airport, Zainuddin Abdul Madjid Airport, Kualanamu Airport, and Sultan Hasanuddin Airport.

“Therefore, booster vaccination must continue to be accelerated. Likewise, the use of the PeduliLindung application must continue to be carried out as an effort to carry out tracing,” said Safrizal. (T/RE1)
