Jakarta: The government will determine the scheme for the covid-19 endemic. The policy awaits the results of the evaluation after the 2022 Eid homecoming.
"For the endemic scheme, the government will still wait for an evaluation a few weeks after the Eid homecoming. We hope it will not happen again like in other countries," said the Main Expert Staff of the Presidential Staff Office Abraham Wirotomo in a written statement, Thursday, May 5, 2022.
According to him, the government will not make the transition until there is supporting data. This is needed to anticipate suppressing active cases.

"As of May 3, 2022, 107 cases per day, 18 deaths per day, and 6,951 active cases remain," said Abraham.
