In West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), for example, Governor Zulkieflimansyah explained the strategy implemented by his region during the COVID-19 pandemic, in accordance with what was announced by President Joko Widodo.

"The way to do this is by increasing awareness of health protocols so that health problems can be reduced," said Zulkieflimansyah, in a press release received by IDN Times, Friday (19/11/2021).
