Lockdown, restrictions and other measures by the government:

The Government of Indonesia applied social distancing on a large scale (PSBB). PSBB implementation involves: the closure of schools and workplaces encouraging work from home, restrictions related to religious activities, limitation of activities in public area, limitation of socio-cultural activities and also restrictions on modes of transport.

 

How is your country’s medical system responding? :

The first thing is to do screening or tracing, if experiencing a fever, cough, having difficulty breathing, or any other symptoms suggestive of respiratory illnesses including pneumonia, followed by rapid test and swab test.
