A survey by Indonesia's Central Statistics Agency (BPS), titled "Community Behavior During the Covid-19 Pandemic," found that the frequency of mask use was highest among the 45-60 age group when leaving the house compared to other age groups. 94 percent of them reported frequently or always using a mask, 4 percent said rarely, and the remaining 2 percent never.

This level of compliance was followed by the elderly group (over 60 years old), with 93.1 percent reporting always using a mask. After that, the other productive age group, 31-45 years old, had a lower percentage, at 91.8 percent. The 17-30 age group had the lowest frequency of mask use, at 90.1 percent.

This survey was conducted from September 7th to 14th. Overall, compliance with mask use across all age groups was 91.98 percent. Besides mask use, the BPS found that the public was also aware of other 3M practices, namely always washing hands with soap for 20 seconds (75.38 percent) and maintaining a 1-meter distance from others (73.54 percent).
