The high number of active cases in Indonesia should be a cause for concern. Especially since the new Omicron XBB variant is currently spreading in Indonesia and several neighboring countries, including Singapore.
The public should not be complacent about the spread of the virus and should strive to prevent transmission through the implementation of the 3M health protocols: wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands with soap. In addition, the public is urged to get fully vaccinated and receive a third dose or booster to reduce the rate of infection and death from Covid-19.
