•     COVID-19 News
             Some noteworthy news about the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia this week included
warning by experts that Indonesia’s genome surveillance was still weak. On 7 February 2021,
The Jakarta Post reported that experts warned that Indonesia’s whole-genome sequencing, a
process to detect new variants of the COVID-19 virus, was still weak. By 4 February 2021,
Indonesia had only submitted 322 complete genomes – or about 0.03% of the total COVID-19
cases reported in the country – to GISAID, a global initiative for sharing viral genomic data. 3
             There was also reporting about how two tribes in West Java – the Baduy and Kasepuhan
Ciptagelar people – had remained free of COVID-19 cases while the pandemic was getting
worse throughout Indonesia. On 8 February 2021, ABC reported that the tribes had been
banning visitor entry into their villages and limiting interactions with people from outside their
villages. Still, Airlangga University epidemiologist Dr. Windhu Purnomo suggested that these
tribespeople should get tested to ensure they are indeed COVID-free.4

•     Government’s COVID-19 Responses
      Restriction Policy and Health Protocol Enforcement
             The government introduced a new policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic called
the micro-scale community activity restrictions (micro PPKM). On 8 February 2021,
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, announced that the
government would implement micro PPKM to control COVID-19 at the micro level on 9–22

                                                                                                 3
February 2021. During micro PPKM, the government also regulated domestic and international
travel as follow:5
   •   For domestic travel, there would be stricter health protocol, testing requirement,
       random tests, and restriction on long and religious holidays.
   •   For international travel, there would be ban on foreigner entry into Indonesia, with
       certain exceptions, stricter health protocol, testing requirement, and centralized
       quarantine obligation.
   •   There would be ban on long distance travel for state civil apparatuses, soldiers, police
       officers, state-owned enterprise employees/staffs, and private employees during the
       Chinese New Year holiday.
       Along with the central government’s micro PPKM, on 8 February 2021, Vice Governor
of Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, announced that the Jakarta provincial government would again
extend the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) in the province until 22 February 2021.6

   Testing, Tracing, and Treatment
       The government is preparing the Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri)
personnel to act as COVID-19 tracers. On 9 February 2021, Commander of TNI, Gen. Hadi
Tjahjanto, announced that TNI would deploy 29,736 personnel as COVID-19 tracers.7
Meanwhile, on 11 February 2021, Chief of Polri, Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, announced that
Polri is preparing 40,366 constables for the task.8

   Vaccination
       On 5 February 2021, the Drug and Food Control Agency (BPOM) issued the emergency
use authorization for the Sinovac Biotech’s COVID-19 vaccine for the elderly aged 60 years
and older.9 On 8 February 2021, Indonesia started vaccinating the elderly health workers. 10 To
aid vaccination program, the government is also preparing the Armed Forces (TNI) personnel
to act as vaccinators. On 9 February 2021, Commander of TNI, Gen. Hadi Tjahjanto,
announced that TNI would deploy 11,000 personnel for the task. 11
       However, the vaccination rate in the country has received much criticism, especially
with the recent prediction by Bloomberg that Indonesia’s vaccination would need 10 years. On
5 February 2021, Bloomberg launched a database of COVID-19 vaccinations given around the

                                                                                              4
world called Bloomberg’s Vaccine Tracker. It predicted that it would take seven years to
vaccinate 75% of the global populations, but lag in poor countries would slow pandemic
recovery.12 It also predicted that some countries, including Indonesia, would need more than
10 years to vaccinate 75% of their populations if they continue at the current pace of
vaccination.13
        In response to Bloomberg’s prediction, on 7 February 2021, the Ministry of Health said
that COVID-19 vaccination in Indonesia would only need twelve months.14 Meanwhile, Chief
of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Moeldoko, denied Bloomberg’s prediction and
challenged Bloomberg to conduct the study in Indonesia.15

coordinating with Indonesian authorities on 5 February 2021. Those warships were crossing to
the South China Sea. 16
