CORONAVIRUS | We should work from home, learn at home and pray at home, says Widodo.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo said today he would get tested for coronavirus, while some of his ministers had also undergone precautionary tests after the Southeast Asian country’s transport minister tested positive for the disease.
Jakarta and several other provinces and cities have already announced school closures starting this week, and some companies are asking staff to work from home. Sofyan Djalil, a minister in charge of land planning who was sitting closest to Sumadi at the cabinet meeting, had tested negative, a ministry spokesperson said.
“The most important thing right now is social distancing, how we maintain a distance. That’s why I said in this condition we should work from home, learn at home and pray at home,” Widodo said.
